Travelin' Man

Earlier this year my wife and I were driving a brand new Chevy Surburban in Denver when this guy in a old Buick sedan decided to run a red light and crashed right into us. From the accident report he was traveling at or above 45 mph. So you want to know what will happened when you hit a Surburban at high speed while driving a smaller car? Well I will tell you. The gentleman that hit us broke both hips, suffered a head trauma, and totaled his car. My wife suffered a mild cuncussion and the both of us walked away without a scratch. My dog that was in the back was fine as well. Best part was the Surburban was a rental and I had the full insurance. Unfortunatly, the Surburban was totaled as the frame was bent. However, if we were driving anything smaller, we would suffered far more extensive injuries. It was incredible how the Surburban absorbed the impact instead of us absorbing it.

Needless to say, I am about to order the ultimate SUV. No p ussy Cadalliac, Surburban, or Durango. Nope we are talking a Hummer H2! I have looked at a lot of SUV's of late. The Porsche Cayanne is really nice, from the inside and drives like a dream. The outside is just plain but ugly and there is no way I will spend 100k on that. The Volvo is really nice as well, but is just too darn small compared to a Surburban or Hummer. For where I live the Hummer makes a lot of sense. I csan take it off road almost every day, in the winter, no problem with the snow, and I really don't drive that much when I sm in town, maybe 200 miles a week or less. Sure gas is $2.15 a gallon where I live, but after that accident, I can't afford to not pay it. Plus I get to piss off those environmentalist terrorists as well.
