Okay, here's my $0.02...

The coroner's office has a 2000 Suburban with all the seats taken out except
the driver and passenger for transporting "guests".  What a piece of crap
this thing has been.  I got rear-ended by a semi, and pushed into another.
The 'burb an literally CRUMPLED.  Another time I was driving it and I got
T-boned on the passeneger side.  Good thing I was on the other side because
I wouldn't have lived to tell about it.

I already thin k the boss is planning to get rid of it and get a panel van
or something... more storage space for one... the on;y thing the 'burban is
good for (for our office anyway) is body recoveries in the bushes where the
av erage 2wd vehicle can't get to.

And the thing is a damn pig on gas!
