As ICE agents surged into Minneapolis, they found actual road ice to be more than a match for their wits and driving skill.

As one would expect from the common dumbass who drives a full size SUV. And before anyone gets a bruised ego, no, not everyone who drives a full size SUV is a dumbass. But it would seem that most of them are.

Basically everyone in a full size suv is a dumbass. Most people use them as a daily commuter when a sedan would be just fine. Given the added purchase cost, maintenance costs, and fuel costs they might as well just be burning money.

Reminds me of how my dad is obsessed with wanting a SUV large enough that he can tow with. He hasn't towed anything outside of work ever. He's going to buy a car that's way more expensive and costs more in gas so he could theoretically one day tow something. Man doesn't even own a trailer

From what I've seen like 90% of full size SUV drivers should've just gotten an Outback, 5% would've been fine with a mid size, and the last 5% actually need one that big.

but have you considered that the line wouldn't go up if people weren't manipulated into buying things they don't need?
