Emcee:  Kelton Type:  Unmoderated
Introduction Compact
Do you hate the recent trend that has been gaining momentum with so many people buying bigger and bigger SUVs (Sports Utility Vehicles) or LTVs (Light Truck Vehicles)?

Do you agree that 90% of SUV drivers are lemmings that only drive these behomoths to the grocery store just to look impressive, and have little use or need for an off- road vehicle? Perhaps you are an SUV owner yourself, but have a genuine use for one and despise all the trendy people with their highly- polished SUVs and trucks that just have to drive something to fit their egos.

Are you a smart person who disagrees with the fallacy that SUV's are safer? Because you know that being able to avoid accidents in the first place is of greater importance than having more mass to exert in a collision?

Are you someone who cares for the environment and values fuel economy?
Then speak out against SUVs right here!


Some examples of existing anti-SUV sites on the web.
