idk...this whole gas price thing is just nuts, it goes up, then down...the skyrockets up. It's just getting pricey. & diesel cars can average over 30mpg. Even after dumbing some money on go-fast goodies, they still get good gas mileage.

I think this is just silly. Rarely are sports cars driven daily but the gas guzzling gas loving trucks, suv's and minivan's are.

Let's make them go away first.

I understand work trucks/vans are needed and trucks to haul track car trailers are needed as well but the days of my wifey can't drive so I put her in something large or my kids can't touch each other otherwise I'll need two doses of Xanex to drive need to come to an end.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

+ one fucking thousand. The ONLY reason you should have an SUV that size is if your truely have a family of more then 4. Like you said, moms put in the cars because they cant drive. Thank you for putting your dumb bitch in a death machine for the rest of us that dont want to drive a sloppy, un-economical suv around. If your kids are bad when there by eachother... DISCIPLINE them!

Oh I would but ill goto jail for it. and theyll just go emo and hate me forever if i just yell at them...

edit: Hahahah they bitch at toyotas tundra for being bad? your kidding me right? its the most efficient in the class (same with chevy), they both tow over 10k pounds, and get the best gas mileage. they want shitty trucks look at something that can tow shit and STILL gets horrible gas mileage i.e. ford, dodge, basically any truck besides toyota and chevy.
