True. Many SUVs are driven by ASSHOLES--I deal with them ont he raods all of the time--but many families use SUVs as the equivalent to station wagons. Just check out the vehicles parked along the roads on weekends when kids are playing soccer. I think you'll find more SUVs than minivans these days.
Sorry to hear about your asshole ex. I would cut off relations with a friend who disrespected me for a tenth of what you evidently went through.
I almost had a car accident last night. Some dumbshit ran a red light and I was lucky that my reflexes were quick enough. Our cars came within inches of a collision.
