You would be beating up a middle age woman.....that could get kinky.
And for the record....I'm not really blaming the SUV.....maybe I should just blame women drivers :D

that sucks man...i hate sport utes, especially with dumbass drivers.
if they aren't going off road or hauling stuff around then they don't need such a big truck.
its only a 4x4 if its been offroad.
my mom has a durango and has been hit twice in the go station parking lots by other trucks. we've taken that truck off roading so many times. :D |

Funny. I've noticed I am passing a lot more SUVs on the highway lately. (Not that I'm going excessively fast). :p |

Make sure you take it to a good body shop, there aren't too many of them around. |

Also, tell me your RPM at 90. Now tell me your RPM at 100. Which is higher?
I Thought so. |
That depends on, for instance, if you're at the top of 4th gear, or if you've just shifted into 5th.
The RPMs could very well be 4500 or 1500 at that speed. |

It's at the best shop in K-W.... as Scott and I are both adjusters we tend to know the good shops ;) |

Well since we're talking about doing a constant speed on the highway, only a fool would be sitting in 4th gear. (assuming the car was a 5 speed)
How in the world did we get to gas milage from poor Scott getting dinged in a parking lot? |

LOL...by the way Scott, sick ride. What IS your other vehicle (I assume it's an SUV)?
But yeah, sitting in 4th? Not typically, but what I'm referring to as being at a certain high point in a gear might only be for a second or so, which is where one's gas mileage would be lowest, then your gas mileage increases (more MPG) when your tranny shifts (or you shift it) into the next gear, dropping your RPMs back down again.
It's painful driving a big V6 BMW and watch the gas mileage gauge drop down to <10MPG when you scream down the highway, and subsequently watch the gas gauge trickle towards 0/1 (no I don't drive one). |

| OUCH, that is just painful to behold. About two weeks ago, a lady driving a suburban, floors the reverse out of a freaking driveway, and totals a civic. Can we draw a conclusion between big SUVs and women drivers? :p |

Large SUVs are disproportionately driven by women therefore the number of accidents involving large SUVs driven by women is naturally going to be higher then that of Large SUVs driven by men. |
