driving the SUV

Lastnight I drove MSH and his buddy to el aeropuerto. Took Buddy's SUV (Nissan Pathfinder) so they could pile up all the golf paraphernalia in the back with ease, so I drove it home my own fels. With the usual disclaimers about if it works for you, that's super dee dooper, I have the following observations after driving his SUV:

I cannot see what the hell is going on behind me. Heebie and Jeebie!

His car has a lot of horsies under the hood. Yummy. Tap the gas and VROOM!! I was going a bit too fast and hadn't even noticed the acceleration.

Around a curve a bit too fast--whoops! Top-heavy! Aieee! Scary!

Having cruise control and music controls on the steering wheel is COOL.

I can see how being up a little higher gives you a sense of security or control in highway traffic, but I think it is illusory.

In closing, the SUV, it is not for this marmot. The marmot, she likey the Corolla!
