You protest too much, Mr. SUV owner.  Hey, I'm not trying to hide it  I love my FJ  No, kids....there's the real fuckin' problem. Tonight on Dateline....Kids, Do We Really Need Them? I say anyone having kids these days is just old-fashioned and part of the problem. Without kids, we can smoke pot. Because we don't have to worry about THE CHILDREN. Backseat tvs go away, people won't have to yack on their cellphones nearly as much (since half of it is "You need to pick up Lintney from chorus and get Briad over to soccer and..."), nobody will stress about baby sitters, no more xmas rush, no more shitty morning and afternoon bus traffic, no more Jonas Montana, oh for the love of all that's holy, get rid of the KIDS! |

Since it's one of my big peeves, I'll give your post a friendly SirBrucing with a touch of  . No, kids....there's the real fuckin' problem. Tonight on Dateline....Kids, Do We Really Need Them?
Some people do not. See the following. I say anyone having kids these days is just old-fashioned and part of the problem. Without kids, we can smoke pot. Because we don't have to worry about THE CHILDREN.
Ha, yeah, kids stop people from smoking pot. Right. If kids could stop that, they could also stop sex and everyone would be an only child. Backseat tvs go away,
This is a parenting directive. See my previous grumble. people won't have to yack on their cellphones nearly as much (since half of it is "You need to pick up Lintney from chorus and get Briad over to soccer and..."),
No one needs to answer their cell. Not even henpecked husbands. That's what voicemail is for: so you don't bend your car around a tree because your wife needs a gallon of milk right now. nobody will stress about baby sitters,
I have found "stop going out all the time, you're not childless" works pretty well. Sometimes you have to get away, sure, but if parents don't think of their kids a a burden then lots or problems magically disappear. I'm suspicious that many people don't really like their kids. My son and I have been playing Kameo, and last night I let him watch a bit of Persona 4. A few days ago we were playing Life (Spongebob Edition)... it teaches math. no more xmas rush,
I got nothing here. Wives promote this a lot. no more shitty morning and afternoon bus traffic,
Those few stay-at-home parents will be out looking for work. As well as all of the school faculties. Ex-teacher gangs will roam the countryside. Textbook sales with plummet and hunting parties will be formed to thin the herds of wild books that have no natural predators. no more Jonas Montana,

Not so much that they directly show up and grab the joint out of your hand. I meant more like "ban the demon weed to keep the children safe!" Although your way is funnier. |

SUV's who tailgate make me extremely angry. You are flying along the street in your death mobile, then you ride my ass while I have a 1 year old sitting in the back.
Sometimes, if someone does that to me (minus the 1 year old) I get out of my car, at a red light for example, and yell at the driver in the car behind me. Very loudly. Keeps me from developing a gastric ulcher (gastric ulcher being translated with the help of an online dictionary) |

I fucking hate working on cars. The Z3 needed engine mounts and my plan of drilling them out and filling them with 60A polyurethane was dashed by the fact that for some fucking reason, BMW fills their engine mounts with piston oil. Now I'm bleeding, tired, pissed off, and sans a car until tuesday.

Now you're an unfortunate casualty of the economy.  When stopped while going uphill, when a person is coming up behind me, I like to ease off my brakes for just a split-second, so that I roll back about an inch...just to let the potential idiot behind me know that I'm driving stick, and it's probably a bad idea to come right up on my bumper.
Also, ever have anyone try to tailgate you in the snow? Fucking retards, I'm not going to speed in this dumping, I'm in a Mustang. 'tards
A. Learn how to drive stick. 2. Mustang in snow?  Get a winter rat with fwd. A + 2 = Possibly it's not the other people in these scenarios that are potential idiots or fucking retards. I think the technique is a holdover from before I was good with stick, though still slightly useful when my tires are still cold or there is inclement weather. Wouldn't want someone to start creeping up at a light change and have them bump me because my tires spun a bit. Also...lol, no way I am buying and insuring a second car Just to make driving in the snow easier on the less than 5 days a year that the snow would truly be an issue. That would be silly, and not even necessary if NJ learned how to plow a road. I've been skiing in VT on days where a 1'+ of snow was dropped overnight...and they had clean blacktop at 8am. |

Working from home, I am sorry to report that snow rarely prevents me from getting to work. Provided I keep an eye on the weather and ensure that a heavy snowfall doesn't coincide with the end of a case of beer there's unlikely to be a problem.

I find your hatred of an entire class of vehicles....amusing. Not all SUVs are giant monstrosities driven by cell-phone-wielding hockey moms without signaling devices, y'know. I'm not a fan of SUVs in any way, but I really do love the late 70's-early 80's GMC Suburbans (borrowing a friend of mine's now and loving it for the utility). An overdesigned beast that will never fall apart if you treat it right and it is a very useful vehicle for picking up cars on a trailer, going to the wrecking yard for parts, or hauling junk away from your house remodel. The way a working truck should be, except it is covered in the back so dickheads don't throw their empty McDonalds bags and cups in your bed (cans and bottles are at least recycleable, so thanks for the free money dick!). Back before it was an "SUV" but was merely a "truck" because trucks were for work and that's what you did with one. Then came the soccer mom and the middle aged adults and the teenage douchebags driving a 9 passenger "car" at 8MPG fully decked out in seat warming electronics with just one person in it, yacking on a cell phone, tailgating you. The Ford Explorers and Excursions with leather interior and TVs are a mere shadow of the former technical usefullness of a truck. Unless you are hauling around 5-6 adults all of the time, you don't really need one and can even get by with a late 1970's to early 1980's GM 4 door full size car. Regarding second cars, winter beaters are not supposed to be nice or expensive. Pick up some used 1980's Honda or Toyota (or even a 1980s' Big 3 product) for $350, slap the cheapest insurance you can get away with and be done with it. Instant car no one cares about for bad weather\traffic and when you are tired of it in a few years sell it again for the purchase price. |

Not all SUVs are giant monstrosities driven by cell-phone-wielding hockey moms without signaling devices, y'know. Correct. The other half are $90k monstrosities, with tinted windows and chrome spinners on their low-profile tires, driven by 17 year olds with trust funds. |

They don't have those shows in Canadia. It's all about buying a HOOOOOOOOOOOOSE! Anyway, a winter rat only costs a couple hundred bucks and you'll actually pay less insurance because you don't need good coverage for one. Like I said, everyone I know who has a muscle-type car has a winter rat. Driving your nice car in the metric shitton of salt NY drops on the roads every winter isn't all that great an idea, driving conditions aside. But whatever, really. It's hard to discuss things like this with people who don't live in winter regions. I'm going to have to call the dealer to find out where my chrome spinners are. |

It gets worse as they get older and want to climb on you THEN punch you in the balls. I can only blame myself and the joys of roughousing with your kids. Grats Rasix, you're in for a hell of a ride. |

I thought you lived a wee bit north of NYC, Sky, no? That's not much more wintery than where we are in PA, is it? Also, I've lived in Santa Fe and Taos - in fact, I worked in Taos Ski Valley for a few winters and in places like that I can understand having a jeep or something (which is the sort of thing I drove around in up there), and even in upstate NY. I have to say, however, that I've always got along fine having to drive regular cars just about anywhere.
Having said all that, I never meant to imply that 4 wheel drive vehicles don't have a place in the world. I think in my initial post I specified ginormous death SUVs or something. I really really really didn't mean to start a bash Sky and his FJ (which I kept thinking was a Ford Jeep but Righ has now twice pointed out that it's something else - hehe).
The car we own right now is a Mustang. I don't like it and see no reason to care if it gets beat around in the winter although it never has. Righ is an excellent driver and I rarely bother with it. It mostly sits in our garage and sulks, anyway. Stupid ugly thing. We keep threatening to replace it but so far it's hardly cost us a cent and almost never needs repairs. Dammit. Sometimes I wish it would just up and die.
(Although I love Rasix to bits, I don't care how many kids he has - I'm not giving up my herbal remedies!)

The FJ isn't a Ford Jeep, it's a Toyota Jeep. A most wonderful one. Especially when you Disable TRC/VSC and do snow donuts. It also disables anti-locks, and make sure the engine is completely off when disconnect/reconnecting. And I think the tow-hitch disqualifies you for the chrome spinners, Sky. |
