Baby You Can Drive My Car... {beep, beep}
On second thought, maybe not. When it comes down to SUV vs. car, I really don't give a preference to either, as it all comes down to the driver behind the wheel.
I can say that I do far better on the roads in my (frequently small) vehicles than these SUV cowboys who think they are 10 feet tall and invincible. I've passed quite a few of them (when conditions permit) in the past few days, and been stuck behind even more who seem mentally challenged by the appearance of snow.
I will say that I would prefer being behind the wheel of a small standard drive car, since I am able to push most of them out by myself should there ever be a problem (and the last time there even was a problem was more than 20 years ago).
Did you know that they actually make a number of SUV models with only 2-wheel drive? They sell them south of the Mason-Dixon line - the states where everything shuts down for 1/4 inch of snow. Call me xenophobic, but these "good ol' boys" bring these vehicles up here, and act like they're driving a half-track (or something that renders them impervious to difficulty).
No, I don't get my jollies from seeing them off the road down the line while I'm still doing fine in my little car (at higher speeds than they were able to do safely). But I do wish that they'd go back to {fill in the blank with whatever state is on the plate} and leave the real driving to people who don't drive 30 mph on clear roads under blue skies.
