Ugh!
I bought a 2009 Jetta so I wish I new that before hand So far it has not caused me any trouble. I hope it stays that way. My friend bought a Golf back circa 2000 and it was not end of trouble for him until it burst into flames |

Pulled a small HGV out of a goods yard before. Granted he only needed a little help to get traction on the ice but I felt like superman.
Problem is SUVs mostly are just big cars with bad 4x4 driven by people who have no idea how to drive in snow. A BMW or Porsche 4x4 are damn near useless off road and are simply school run mum cars. That's the pointless SUV we hate, not the range rovers and land rovers. |

hugs his polo ...its never let me down ...well apart from when one of the spark plugs decided to die ...then there was the time that both front shocks gave up the ghost due to speed humps and the rears are also "creaking a little bit" ...but other than that its been pretty ok ...oh yeah ...the battery died in april...but that prolly cos I hadn't used it in nearly 2 months |

Er, my SUV is a Land Rover.....
I would also like to point out that driving a 4x4 on snow is not the issue. The driving is never the issue. It's the stopping that people don't understand. I'm just as capable driving a vehicle in 2 wheel drive as I am in 4 wheel drive. One should figure that to be true for many people considering that not every make or model SUV even has 4 wheel drive capabilities, which is something that people never take into consideration when they do the winter median boast.
So I'll say it again, it has nothing to do with the vehicle make or model, it has to do with the driver. If you want to keep making boisterous claims be my guest, but I find it all pointless and redundant. Out of Pod is getting In the Pod - Join in game channel IG OOPE |

See you have a proper 4x4 and use it for what its ment for.
My beef is with the big car for no reason school run mums who have no idea how big their motor is that tailgate you to the local shop where they proceed to park slightly over the line. After shopping they leave the car park making sure to use both sides of the road around every corner while making sure to never use their indicators and oh god I want to run them over in a tank. |

Btw to anyone who does drive a prius :
Just so you know, to produce that car, it is DOUBLE the carbon footprint of any other car being produced. That means it would take an extra 6 years to actually be EQUAL to the amount of emissions a normal petrol car gives out.

The actual numbers show that over a life span of 160,000 miles, the hybrid vehicle will more than compensate its higher production cost. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! |

I thought that it had to do with the 600 lb battery full of heavy metals that eventually lead to its higher foot print. Out of Pod is getting In the Pod - Join in game channel IG OOPE |

as a bmw driver i guess this is all a matter of perspective.
if i come along down the left side of the autobahn i have the right of way on my lane.
and if someone decides to pull into my lane with his scrub mobile 50m in front of me and 80kph slower, he should expect to see me pretty furious after i dropped an anchor to not park into your boot.
besides that, i need a permition for a heavy mg on the roof to blast audi and merc drivers.... |

If you're driving on the left hand side of the autobahn you're driving on the wrong side of it, if however you're in the left hand lane of the autobahn you're passing slower traffic, and you're meant to drop back into one of the other lanes once you've done so. If you don't you're technically breaking the law. At least that was the case when I attended fahrschule back in the 80's.

intended to write lane but meh.
youre mixing up rechtsfahrgebot with vorfahrt.
the car that is on the lane has right of way but if you can drive at your current speed on the right lane, you gotta do that.
