I don't have an SUV (although if I were fleeing to Canada, now that I consider it, maybe I'd want one). And I'm fairly liberal every dang day of the week. SUVs perform poorly in altruistic crash testing, which ranks vehicles on how much damage they inflict. Trouble is, I'm not aware of any rigorous altruistic crash testing. Lately I've been thinking that if I really put others ahead of myself, I'd be on a motorcycle much of the time. Yet as Dave Land pointed out to me, some of the others who I put ahead of myself are my family, who I wouldn't be serving very well if I were splatted all over a freeway. Still, it's a tempting rationalization for a midlife crisis-mobile.
