I LOVE SUVs!!  Not.

Gigantic, gas guzzling, carrying only the driver but with room for 8, impossible to see around, driven by someone who 98% of the time is on the phone, make the beast with two backsin' tanks.

What's that have to do with anything? He was almost hit by a pick-up (despite the video title).

Suv or smart car, head-on is head-on. If thats the way I'm giong to go, I'd rather it be a big ol' dump truck. Quick and easy. 4 wheels just dont a handle high speed curves like a race car. P.S. I drive a an Avalanche and I would not trade it for and death trap little car.

Cool..happens to all of us at some point, but with different parameters. Bet it made the rest of the day sweeter.

If you look at the pic, you can see he was looking to the left instead of straight.  Maybe if he was paying attention to the road he wouldn't have gotten into that pickle..

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It has to do with my dislike of SUVs.    cheeky

Plus, that's not a pickup, its an SUV with a 3' bed.   Grin
