Good read. I really didn't know about the safety standards of SUVs (ie, trucks) vs. all other cards.

"The only time those S.U.V.s are going to be off-road is when they miss the driveway at 3 a.m."

Quoted for truth.

Heh, something I just realized... Both accidents that totalled my car involved an SUV (Jeep Grand Cherokee) or a pickup truck (some POS Chevy). In both cases, they were at fault.
