I think we here in the great state of Kalifornia have you guys cold. Our state has these nice 6 lane "Freeways" that allow our SUV drivers to not only do 90MPH but to cross the lanes with total abandon.

Now, a lot of these birds end up on their roofs and off the road, but hey, they FEEL safe when they are up high and all.

Really, I do think this sense of isolation that you get in these huge vehicles is deceptive.

Add the cell phone, coffee, radio, DVD in the back, etc. and who can actually focus on the road? And at 80-90 MPH, they take off like a rocket!!!!!!!!!!!

I once saw a young lady putting on her eye liner and driving. I assume she had the wheel with her knees but who knows.

She was pretty though. Hey, I am a guy, I HAD to look.

Last summer I saw a rolled SUV, rolled biggie-wheel pickup or rolled Honda Civic boyracer every day on the I-15 in the IE. I am sure they were all careful drivers going at or near the speed limit though...not! I don't think I have ever seen a rolled Porsche on the freeway. I have been upside down hanging from the straps before and it sucks. Drive safe guys and gals.
