4x4 Heaven
As the proud owner of a new 4x4 SUV, I can now say, from an insiders point of view, that this kind of vehicle is most likely to contain an arrogant jerk. A lot is said about testosterone, feeling bigger and better than everyone else, attracting the hottest women, etc. So I suppose that people who need more of all that apparently get it with this kind of car. I can't say its worked for me, but then I didn't consider myself lacking in those departments previously. I can say for sure, that these cars are a complete waste of money and are road hazards for their drivers and all other road users. I've personally watched as a housewif reversed her 4x4 into (luckily) another one, before parking, seemingly oblivious to the damage inflicted. My old car had its bonnet folded by a 4x4 behemoth, who most likely literally felt nothing before driving away. Often they block the view for other road users, and I find myself driving to the left, just to allow the car behind to see whats going on ahead. The road holding is appalling compared to any car. The vehicle is difficult to keep in its lane, because its so wide, and difficult to maneuver and park. People in cars hate you parking next to them, since your huge doors cause quite significant damage to their cars when you get out, especially since you had to squeeze your behemoth into the parking place in the first place. Yes, there's no doubt, you feel like a jerk in a 4x4.
