Sure, but there's no way the monster SUVs couldn't cause danger to other non monster SUVs. They're just bigger, and have got bigger blind spots, and will handle poorer, take longer to stop, etc. And again, sure, the mini-SUVs could probably do it, but well What's the point of an SUV if it isn't bigger than my mansion? - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
