Suburban life with SUVs







Suburban life with SUVs

Suburban life with SUVs 02/18/2004 12:07 PM

Just another day in the Boston suburbs with the family SUV... (story).

This SUV story from Qatar shows that ours is a global culture.

Finally there is Malcolm Gladwell's recent New Yorker article with stats showing that drivers are vastly safer inside a minivan than inside an SUV (not to mention the fact that people outside the vehicle are much more likely to be harmed by an SUV).

SUVs considered harmful to your head


SUVs considered harmful to your head 03/11/2003 09:43 AM
A NYT article titled "Automak ers Agree to Work for S.U.V. Safety" addresses the dangers associated with a height differential between SUVs and cars in collisions.
"A lot of times, people die from their head hitting the hood of the striking car, so if you can add some sort of head protection, like a curtain, you can mitigate injuries and fatalities," said Chris Tinto, one of Toyota's top safety experts.
SUV makers ought to consider pushing for the application of helmet laws to drivers mistakenly choosing reasonably-sized vehicles. Perhaps these wimpy drivers should further consider helmets, knee-pads, and pedestrian roll-bars when outside their ill-considered puny vehicles to prevent against head-butts by "bullies."

There's an interesting article over on Slate titled California's SUV Ban: The Golden State has outlawed big SUVs on many of its roads but doesn't seem to know it. Andy Bowers does a good job of explaining how the largest SUVs often weigh more then 6,000 pounds, the traditional cutoff between light and heavy trucks. It turns out every big SUV and pickup is too heavy for my street. Here's just a sampling: The Chevy Suburban and Tahoe, the Range...

Sabin Willett's Pr esent Value cleverly rolls together a lot of themes that have been discussed here.  I read it in one sitting last night, following a massive family gluttonfest down here in Washington, DC.  Highly recommended.

[Fifteen years ago an Italian woman studying in Boston told me of her experience at Thanksgiving dinner with a local family.  "We Italians have a reputation for eating a lot but never have I seen people stuff themselves like pigs as here in America."]

USATODAY.com - When information technology giant EDS began moving its world headquarters in the 1980s from Dallas to this then-remote suburb, employees gazed out at thousands of acres of unspoiled Texas prairie. Longhorns and buffaloes grazed nearby. Unpaved roads surrounded the new corporate campus, one of the first in a 2,665-acre office park bearing the grand name Legacy.
