I generally don't dislike cars but I find most SUV's quite annoying. I think I disklike them more because the people who drive them aren't skilled at driving such a big vehicle and therefor drive unpredictably.

If you can't see over the steering wheel without pushing the seat all the way up you probably shouldn't be driving such a big vehicle.

Cars are a necessary evil, although I do like a piece of finely built machinery.

I like cars ok, but I absolutly hate them at the same time. [hummers and big SUVs] make me sick, and if I had the money I would by a hybrid.

Good Idea Ryan, you don't need a drivers licence to ride a Hybrid mule or a hinny. Ride on boy.

I, generally, like all machinery. Although, as ryan_velo points out, there is a line that one can cross when purchasing a behemoth (SUV) for no discernable reason other than vanity. They rip up the roads, spew more filth, & are more dangerous to other drivers in most collisions. I would like to think that there is a "special place" for those individuals, in the afterlife (if there is such a thing), who practiced conspicious consumption.

Cars aren't too bad. Landscapers who forget they have a trailer on the back of their truck, however, can be dangerous.

I didn't know that cows had to have lights these days. It just shows how behind the times we are in England.
Well I hope you had a good footing, and a luxury Mc Sweens.
The Vatican? is that the name of a new theme bar?
