(It seems that I am still experiencing posting problems on Lugnet...hence
the reason why I no longer participate in most groups...too frustrating.
Forgive the 2 part message)

I have driven most SUVs before (except a hummer and an
excursion).  They are quite unweildy in Urban and
stop+go traffic environments.  I narrowly avoided
"destroying"  a cab full of nurses we were following to
a conference in Orlando when another cab cut them off.
The suburban I was driving w/ six people stopped inches
short of the cab.  (the difference being, I was driving
slow at a good distance behind, and I was paying
attention)

You are quite fortunate, I would say (besides the
obvious loss of your vehicle)

These accidents are more common than you would
think...Having been a medical sales rep, I heard half a
dozen stories of dr.s and nurses getting in accidents
while rushng back to the office after 8 hours of surgery
or falling asleep at the wheel and hitting parked cars.

My first semester of my senior year, right before
finals, 2 dental students rear ended me.  I was driving
an old Ford FBI mid-size LTD, they were driving a 1978
Buick Lesabre (2+ tons of road war
