In 2008 and gas exceeded $4.25 the economy shut down. The same is about to happen.

For all you puddle jumper drivers poking fun at SUV's remember that while you save a few dollars on gas retail prices, like food, will go soaring and we will all pay those prices regardless of what we drive.

This is the problem with elitist people. I have a Lexus and a Ford truck and would never think to shoot someone because they are a so called redneck.

SUV's are horribly ugly and only people with a macho complex would drive them.

I would rather drive a fine German made Sudan.

I don't relish high prices for gas, I understand what it will do to the economy (even though I know we have to cut our oil consumption by 50% in our lifetime for our grandkids sake).

But kind of jokingly saying that is one bright spot that I will see fewer Goobers out driving their 4x4's with monster mudders down the road

I'll never purchase an SUV with the way gas is going these days. I love my very gas efficient Mazda3. And it is cute too.

And .308 trumps .45. What's your point?

Are you planning to interdict drivers that get too close to you and your Volvo?

You guys are sissies. It's almost seven bucks a gallon over here.

That's why we all ride bikes. Keeps us slim and trim.

Pulling a boat, camper, or trailer requires someone to be "macho?"

Who woulda thunk.

I just bought a brand spanking new '12 Grand Cherokee. Full time AWD. Remote start even, so I can burn gas when I'm not even sitting in it. But when the dumbass texting rear ends me, he's going to eat alot of trailer hitch and not aa nice, soft crumpling bumper. Sucks for him. And I've never gotten stuck in the snow in 10 years of driving Jeeps. I just pump my gas and drive away.
