I think he was referring to the current crop of SUV drivers acting as if
they are driving sports cars. Yes, they have a high center of gravity,
and yes they will roll over if cornered too hard, or my favorite,
slamming on the brakes in a curve or a blowout. With 30 years of driving
both LBCs and 4X4 pickups, utility vehicles, and SUVs, I've never had
one roll, even a high speed blowout on I-95 one hot summer day in an
Explorer. All vehicles have limits, the driver needs to be aware of them.
