i wouldn't say that the oil they sell is us is cheap by any means, the market price is what dictates what they sell at.

the thing with venezuala's oil and the US is that 80's of their oil is sold to the US so as much as he bitches and moans about the US its all empty threats because for him to cut the supply means a HUGE cut in his earnings and thats what is keeping him so popular, the fact hes rakin in money and appears to give it back to the people

that same volume of oil is if i remember correctly less than 20% of the US's imported oil ... so you can see who that would harm more.

I agree with this.

In most cases, nobody ever needs them. They should limit sales to families of 5 or more. If you use it for business, that's fine too.

i'd go even farther than that, cuz most families with 5 or more ... are very uncomfortable in a suv. they could use a minivan and be much better off

there should be a special driving course for people who want to buy a SUV ... sooooo many people get them and act like its just like a car, no common sense to tell them that hey its bigger and bulkier

I agree with this too.

SUV's are commercial vehicles placed into non-commercial practices. You're right, you end up doing more damage than good.

Same goes with full size trucks that arent work related. I see SOOOO many of those rolling around town that it sickens me.

i just dont see the need for 90% of people with them who live in such heavy urban areas ...

i mean ya my family has 4 pickups but we also have horses, a farm, snowmobiles, an engine shop and live in an area where the snow is deep and you dont have nice plowed roads.
