User ID: 78157668 United States 06/09/2021 01:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man, you wouldn't want to drive up here! I'm in the boonies on 55 mph roads with lots of 20 mph curves and hills. We have the tourist college kids who go to Helen and get drunk and then drive. We have the old retired people living up here that drive 30 mph and hold everyone up. We have the women (often tourists) in SUVs messing with their phones and turning around yelling at their kids, swerving all over the place. We have the rednecks in 4x4 pickups riding everyone's tails and passing on yellow lines. We have the guys in sports cars or motorcycles who come up for the day and try to see how fast they can drive on the mountain roads, cutting the curves and all but running other drivers off the highway. And if that isn't bad enough, we have to deal with deer popping out in front of us 24/7. We can't let your guard down a minute driving up here. Quoting: GA Girl When I lived in the city I always drove a smaller model Volvo, mostly because the family put 350,000 miles on it and it still ran. Because I worked in Bodily Injury Claims (Auto) and several state troopers said little cars are death traps and they never saw a dead body taken out of a Volvo if they wore seat belts-I could do a page on why but anyhow, my kids were safe and so was I. When we retired way up north with two way roads and zero street lighting at night, touristas in the day and all manner of animals from 800#moose to racoons with attitude and one sheriff for the whole county...You better believe I got a big Santa Fe. Besides, up north, you slid all over with a smaller vehicle and with one 24hr snowfall of 3 to 5ft not uncommen up here, you'd die without 4 wheel drive. And of course I wanted my Grand babies to be firmly seated in the middle so in case some looney hit us they'd have a better chance. I have big sunglasses because I have Lupus and my eyes are very photosensitive and tinted windows to keep the sun off my skin as much as possible, even though my skin is tan looking since Im Ojibwe. People are just TOO JUDGEMENTAL and jump to erroneous conclusions about everyone and everybody. I am an artist. I have tons of paints of all colors and to paint a forest scene with lots of wild flowers, a little pond with shell pink lilly pads and a wild deer stopping for a drink, I need almost every color...each one valuable for its difference and uniqueness...If all were to be equal and the same, Id have to mix them all up and have an ugly grayish color like cement. Would that make all this picky critics happy? A GRAY world. Thank God for individuals who think for themselves. amdg Forgiveness means giving up every hope for a better past, In exchange for a better future. P.S. Ive always had an American Flag, now all of a sudden you gave me a Canada one. ?? Please whoever did this change it back. Not that free Ojibwe/Chippewa acknowledge any imaginary boundry lines... |

User ID: 79448264 United States 06/09/2021 03:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For the same reason many/most western women crave tall men, massive cocks, large wallets, and even big dogs, it's decades of social engineering, a.k.a mind control. Once upon a time, women looked for good men, a reliable homestead, a loyal dog. Size was not a priority, quality was. Why you ask? Because when you are subliminally looking for a certain type, you ignore key factors that make the choice logical and just. This leads to women making emotional and impulsive choices, which in turn destroys the family unit and society as a result. Who would do such a thing? I think we all know the answer to that question. The usual suspects who wear small hats. "Honey, I’m the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind." |

User ID: 80424836 United States 06/09/2021 07:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I drive a small SUV to sit higher on the road and not feel like Im in a death trap on the highway but I assumed women drove the larger ones for space for their older kids not driving age. Plus all their athletic equipment lol Quoting: *CindyLou* Nope, here in Louisiana, it's a status thing. More often than not, it's one woman in a gigantic SUV and they can not drive the dang thing. They are almost always my age, so there's no way they have young kids. One day, on my 30-minute lunch break, I sat for a good 7 minutes watching a woman try to back a Yukon XL ( their favorite, must be white) into a parking spot. I nearly got out, drug her butt out of the driver's seat, and parked it for her. I decided not to because I'd have to sympathize with her and listen to her drama for a few minutes before she got out of the car. I am an East Texas girl, so whiny women who make their own problems and need someone else to fix them aggravate me. I get the big car thing if you have kids, I drove a suburban when my kids were small. I needed it for their crap. As soon as the third one hit high school, and the other two had their own cars I bought a Prius. Best decision I ever made. Last Edited by girlie45 on 06/09/2021 07:59 AM |

Earlier on, its strollers and portable cribs and massive supply bags. Taking kids anywhere is like going on a safari, because you have to take so much crap with you. Thus, 7-seater minivans and SUVs come in handy. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79313557 I see plenty POCs driving large SUVs here in the south as well. Do you have something against white women, OP? Agreed, it's women of all races here. The largest one they can get. They are usually white or black ( the car). |
