It is clear to me that you have not been following the discussions on the
above newsgroups. As a parttime interloper, you have no standing to know
what is going on. I suggest you either get up to speed or get the hell out
of here.

Higher bumpers is one reason the SUV is the vehicle of choice of the
Devil. There's no known defenses against that other than another SUV.
Besides the really BIG TOYS weigh twice as much as those cars above.

Ed, I acknowledge you are the greatest spammer here and since you want
to be remembered by posterity, you leave me alone.
How do you think you'll be remember?

McNamara is not really Irish at all. He is a dumb Pole. Chicago is well
known as being a safe harbor for dumb Poles. His wife is most likely a dumb
Pole too.

The OP is a tax-evading douchebag whose biggest insurance problem is his
speed-demon wife. He'll never get a decent rate for a combined cars/house
policy as long as he's with a speeder who racks up points. Sucks to be him.
For many, many reasons. Too many kids, law-breaking wife, no imagination,
desperately fly-over-state mentality, etc.
