Mike, I was just kidding you about the Arrianna Huffington thing. I love all 7,200 lbs. of my Dodge Cummins pickup around me and my family as well. I talked to the wife about a Power Stroke powered Excursion as well but she did not like it and Ford has lost their mind on what they charge for it. (well over $50,000) That and the piss poor quality Ford puts out.
If it were up to me most of the idiots I see on the road would not have a driver's license. Constantly yapping on the cell phone, drunks, weaving in and out of traffic, living in the left lane, slam on the brakes first and then the turn signal to turn. I could go on for hours. Driving is a privelidge NOT a right. When the insurance companies and law enforcement start going after these folks for wreckless driving and vehicular homicide, then the problem will turn around. Until then, I want LOTS of steel and iron around my family and I. I am like Mike, haven't had a ticket in over 15 years or been at fault (knock on wood) but I want the protection. So I enjoy hearing from Arrianna and her claim that I support terrorist by driving a SUV or large vehicle. I wonder what she drives and flys around in??????? OK, I had my rant, I'm done now! Boy do I feel better!!!! Think I'll go outside and start up the Cummins and the John Deere just to make me feel better and make a little smoke.

Mike, I figured you knew I was teasing you but just didn't want anyone else who read the thread to think so. Did not want to be responsible for a food fight. You're right about Arrianna and she needs to work on the beer gut too.

Crash of the Titans. A great example of how plenty of steel around you can let you walk away. I am surprised nobody was killed in this accident just because of the head on sudden stoppage. In view of how severe the crash was, it looks like both vehicles held up pretty well. Anyhow, it was an interesting article. I can't imagine what it must have cost to repair the Hummer if it was even possible.

OK, OK, OK.........if your promise not to snicker and laugh too much; I'll tell ya what I drive around locally. This can substitute for the joke o the day.
I don't really use it that much any more since I retired. It was my commuter car. I drove about 75 - 80 miles a day back and forth to work and it got me 32 mpg. I have had it for going on 17 years and she is still kickin'. It is a 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX SE. A little 2 door hatch back 2 seater with a joke fold down rear seat and hatch back. It was a bad little machine when it was new. It has a 1.6L DOHC 112 hp engine that red lines at 7200 rpm and it would do over 130 mph new on the Autobahn. (the speedo stops at 130 but the needle would keep going to the trip odometer reset and stop) (I bought it in Germany while stationed there where everyone has a puddle jumper car)
She would rap up to about 7300 rpms in 5th gear going down hill and I could draft the Porche's or BMW's and hull butt and hang with them for a little while! She is kinda tired now but still runs pretty good for almost 150,000 miles. I would NEVER want to hit ANYTHING in this car as it would fold up like a paper cup. It would be a death trap in any kind of collision.
With a wife and 3 little girls I much prefer the Dodge Cummins. I hate to sell the Nissan cause it is so old , it is not worth anything but it still runs good so it is worth it to me to just keep running it until it dies.
