My kids are all grown up. :)
I agree that in a one on one confrontation, id like to be in a SUV. Its
just not a fair fight. 

I was reading a report (CHP traffic stats, April 2002. Internal pub.)
which said that 93% of ALL single car accidents were all from SUV loss of
control. 
100% of all CA rollover accidents (for the month of April) involved a
SUV. Thats a wicked number!
15% of these were from a mechnaical failure (tire or suspension part)
7% of these were from wildlife (whoa!) 
78% were from driver error. (GAG!) 

Oh, lookie that, 3% fatalities were from street racing. 
Seems street racing is MUCH safer than commuting in a SUV! :)

I should scan it and post it somewhere. Its a cool pub.
