Perfect! My hat off for ilaine! There's nothing to do with being female or shorter: My first wife was a tiny 1.5m tall. She used to drive her Fiat 147 in Sao Paulo traffic in a way that would make any Nascar driver hold ot his seat. Why people need to see too far in traffic? They can easily adjust the seat and be 'taller'. 'Need to see farther' is what must be investigated. I have the worst ever driver I have been in a car with. (And I am a veteran of 9 years in Nigeria) He has absolutely no concept what is to drive. He swerves right and left all the time. He changes lanes every 100m. He told me he wants to see farther that why he moves left and right. He doesn't look to the mirrors. Nothing that is expected from a driver he does right. He's 51 years old, in any country he would have been killed in a road accident before he rached 25. Luckly, he drives me less than 10Km everyday and in this huge paring lot we call the traffci of Tehran. Else I wouldn't use him.

So you lump SUVs together into only several categories. What an SUVist bigot! Each is an individual and should be treated on their merits, not lumped together like that. Tobago Jack is a lumpist too. He thinks all Chinese are mindless clones who think the same. He'd be amazed if they held a secret referendum on anything. Sure, they could get agreement on something like "Breathing is a good thing" Yes/No, [though people in Beijing and elsewhere in China seem indifferent to the process and even smoke lots of cigarettes to prove it so I'm not even sure of that]. But on more general things, such as "Would you like to be nuked as a result of trying to murder Taiwanese - Yes/No?" I don't think he'd find so much agreement. Mqurice
