.......The inexplicable growth in SUV ownership, right up to the ridiculous barges made by Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Porsche.
Each to his own, but unless you live right out in the sticks and need the high ground clearance and 4WD this is quite baffling to me. I also have found that the drivers of SUVs over here seem much more aggressive behind the wheel, maybe as a result of the sense of security they get from being in seemingly invincible cars.
