I'll stick with my boring, boomer sedans. I genuinely don't enjoy driving SUVs and light trucks--primarily due to the blind spot issue and high hoods that the article describes.
I’m driving my little Subaru into the ground before I buy a big ass overpriced piece of shit crossover or pickup truck with pillars thicker than my thighs. I like being able to actually see out of my car.
They are impossible to park in a multilevel garage but hilarious to watch Chuck Boomer driving round and round to find a spot. These people are fucking idiots.
