I saw a bumper sticker on a Suzuki that read, "IF YOU CAN READ THIS, TURN ME OVER." I personally do not even like to ride in vehicles that will turn over just by turning the steering wheel. Almost all of the YUPPIE 4Xers will turn over in a panic situation, especially if they have big balloon tires on them. That is why the military quit using jeeps, they killed and maimed a lot of people but idiots do not learn, they listen to other idiots. 4Xers have their purpose but that propose is not to be the everyday vehicle, SUVs are bigger sellers than cars now here in America. My nephew, Roger, turned over his Toyota 4X4 by turning the steering wheel too quickly. He was wanting another one. I told him that if he wanted to kill himself that was OK with me but I liked his wife, Tracy, (she was still in the hospital from the wreck) and I would kill him if he wrecked another 4X4 and hurt her again. I explained about big tires and 4xers and when he turned the steering wheel, it took a bit of time before the tire tread on the ground turned and then it digs in and buckles under and the 4X4 turns over. He got a 280Z after that. Give me something that handles any day over a piece of dangerous equiptment. Life is hard enough anyway without adding more danger into the situation. Mareo
