Yup, my Miata is a rolling death trap and I know that full well. But that's my choice and it doesn't put anyone other than myself at risk, unless they decide to take the risk of getting in the car with me. On the other hand, strapping on a 3-ton battering ram every time I drove somewhere would put other people at risk.

Aside from any moral objection to them, I just think big SUVs drive like crap. It's like driving a school bus. If I needed to carry around the kids and wanted to do it luxuriously, both Honda and Toyota have pimped out versions of their minivans. Maybe I need awd for the snow? Toyota's got me covered. The only thing a pimped out minivan can't do better than a bigass SUV is tow.

Besides, while most people get the bigass SUV because they don't want to be seen in a minivan, I'd much rather have a pimped out minivan like the Odyssey Touring or Sienna XLE Limited and see people's reaction when they hop inside and see the pimpishness.

But hey whatever, I hold no real contempt in my heart for the people who make what I consider to be a dumb choice. That is of course until one of them runs into me while I'm minding my own business driving along in my death trap Miata.
