Ive got a problem with my 95 Jimmy. It sucks too much gas! If I knew I was moving to Florida, after I bought the thing. I woulda got a lill rice burner instead. Its good for the winters, and for hunting in Upstate N.Y.. Here its just a drag.

I remember in Syracuse, people drove S.U.V.s beond their handling. Just cause you have a four wheel drive vehical, it doesnt mean you are invanerable to loosing control on ice.
It doesnt at all occur to these dummys that their "truck" weighs twice as much as a car, therefore this object in motion, has double the inertia. Basic physics theory should be inserted into the owners manuel! Four wheel drive may help prevent skidding, but it doesnt help worth a squat when you ARE skidding.

What am I saying? I cant even explain Inertia to my "briliant" girlfreind, when Im fowling her while she eraticly zipps around the traffic in Jacksonville. Mabe I should drive closer to her bumper, when she unexpectedly changing lanes, or slams on the brake.

I would kill for a S10, or even a (sigh) Honda right now.
