Pimp My Ride!
In The American Dream, my Rhetoric II class, we talk about all kinds of aspects in American life, Violence, Gay Marriage, etc... Anyways, right before Spring Break, we were talking about SUVs and how they play such a huge role in modern American life. To end the whole unit, we had to write this paper on SUVs and whether we agreed with the whole proliferation of SUVs and how they are used today. Well to kick off the whole paper, we had a class discussion on the whole topic, and I swear, I was the only guy in my class who was against them! I dunno if its just because we're in Texas, where bigger is better, and we all want to be like Toby Keith and rough it out or whatever, but geez. I can deal with the cowboy boots, I can even deal with the huge hats. But YOU DON'T NEED A HUGE POLLUTION-MOBILE TO BE A COWBOY... especially if you live in the suburbs of Dallas.
Now, my family owns an SUV. I know, I know i'm a hypocrite. My parents brought it cause it was the only car big enough to fit a family of six, and fit in our garage at the same time. But if its any consolation, we barely drive it due to the fact that my family is overseas 11 months of the year. Even though my dad says its mine if I want it, I still don't touch it. It's actually one of the main reasons I'm 18 and still putting off getting my driver's license.
So, to sum up, if you really want to be a cowboy, instead of buying an SUV, go out and buy a mini cooper (a sweet ride). Then take the extra $12,000 you'll save and buy some chaps, a lasso, and a DVD of Walker, Texas Ranger.
YEE HAW!

FUCK THAT! The Cherokee owns you! OK, on a more serious note though, SUVs are completely alright. Sure you should not drive yours to work every day, in fact no one should drive to work period. For stuff like that people should take public transportation. Speaking of which, here in North America, public transport is crap for the most part. That said you should be able to own an SUV so that on the weekend you can take it to carry your mountain bikes to some remote location, go to the home depot and buy a trunk full of 2x4s or drive across the Rub-Al-Khali or something. I am not talking about people having pansy ass SUVs like the Lincoln Aviator or some other yuppie bullshit that you would never take off road. I’m talking about getting a manly vehicle like a Jeep Cherokee Sport or a Toyota Land Cruiser, something that can tear it up! One final note who's paying for yours and my ass in school right now? That’s what I thought, GAS GUZZLING CARS FOR ALL!
