Speaking of wasted capabilities.... have you ever looked at most of the SUVs and 4WD trucks that people drive around (or did before the gas prices zoomed)? Not a scratch, not a dent, not a speck of mud. It seems pretty silly to me to pay $30-40,000 for a vehicle and use it for the same purposes that you would use an RX-7. And equally silly to buy them just to be able to get out of a ditch because they were driving too fast on ice. They're just pets.

Worse: a young woman at work has a new Hummer that her daddy bought her.......... just for 'guy bait'.
