Yea around Washington DC there is a boatload of SUV's running around, I think an SUV is pretty pointless in the city...especially emission wise...but then again I've seen some Modified 4 bangers that really look like they are doing some Ozone damage.
The thing about it is, the drivers who drive SUV's...not to sound sexist or anything, but I have yet to meet a female who was good at judging distance or knowing how to steal or when not to steal traffic. I'm in no way saying females are bad drivers... I just observed how when I get cut off or, tail-gated (sp?) or get runn off road , majority of the time it was an older female driving an SUV.
