I know, I know, but I couldn’t resist.
Here’s a rather amusing anti-SUV screed from our dear Mr. Sullivan. Normally I wouldn’t note this, as I find it a bit over the top, but since having a child myself I’ve become more and more frustrated with the vehicular requirements inherent in thing in the current regulatory environment. What he suggests is impossible: you can no longer just pack your kids into the back seat and make do, unless you’ve taken care to space your children in such a way that your collection of carseats and boosters fits neatly. I long for simpler days, myself. Any desire I had for a large vehicle has evaporated now that I live in this weird paradise of narrow roads and bad parking. I felt compelled to point out, though, that there are valid reasons for driving such a thing. But I hardly think that driving an SUV, no matter your reason, qualifies you as a traitor.
