I sure hope you're joking David. I cannot tell. No one in their right mind
would ever consider your comment anything other than a Bill Mahr type joke.
People, including myself, hate being in an MG and have an SUV tail gate.
I hate being in my family car and being tail gated by an SUV. Around here
on the moderate roads and highways (East Coast), SUV drivers are rude,
obnoxious, and overly aggressive.
MG and other LBC cars are anything but that. Attacking SUV's is not a
Luddite activity. It is, in many cases, maybe not the particular that
started this thread, a mode of self-preservation.
And besides, the law and its sentences are often crazy. More years for
destroying 3 vehicles than manslaughter. That is just bizarre.
