Great, I'm sure I can look forward to seeing those lumbering down the freeway and taking up 19 parking slots at once any day now.

Well, you know, they ride a little higher so it's easier to see the traffic around you, and, well, they just make see feel safer, especially with the children and everything...

Ahahahaha!
Incidentally, I drove an SUV for the first time last week. While I can certainly see the allure -- sheerly on "fun" levels -- I realized a couple of things:
i) They'd be *really* easy to roll over if you didn't know what you were doing. And I'd suspect that a *lot* of people driving them don't know what they're doing.
ii) They're really not that big inside. A minivan *easily* has as much space as an SUV, maybe more. Anyone who says they need an SUV for the space is, frankly, wrong.

Too bad you didn't get any pictures of the mashed down service truck!
And June... you know they'll be parking in the "Compact only" spaces. :)

That is awesome; reminds me of the huge transport platform they use to move the space shuttle around... BIG TOYS++

I'm guessing the Tonka version is the size of a regular truck.

Did you see one that had a "How's my driving?" sticker?

No matter how many times I see that picture, every time I look at it I just think, "holy moses is that a big truck." My brain won't go any further than that.
