binkie must live in NY, cuz that's all I see is SUVs. It's funny too, because the roads here are just barely wide enough to fit them and most people here drive like they've been huffing butane.

I used to work for a metal foundry that made automotive parts and the reason they said American cars don't last anywhere near as long as foreign cars is because American companies like to things the cheap way and use aluminum for lots of things. The problem with aluminum is that it expands and shrinks during drastic temp. fluctuations (ie driving and then shutting the car off). So you may get warped heads on your engine for example which can be a major problem. Foreign car companies do things the right way (what a concept!!) and use ceramics and other materials that are a little heavier and more expensive but will last way longer and can withstand the temp changes and stuff.

Close but no dice. I'm right outside the Nation's Capital. We're bad but not as bad as NY. We need our SUV's for all the bad weather LOL.
I drive one and actually use that as an excuse. Of course I only have a 'mini' SUV - Jeep Liberty. But hey when we do great enuf snow it sure is fun to play in the SUV with it.
@bobright
Yes we have a few of them too though more soccer moms. Soccer mom is not one adjective I think people would use for me. I figured your were kidding - at least I hoped you were :)
