abgwin commented on UAW-American Axle Contract Talks Stall...Like An American Axle PCM?,

speaking of big GM SUV's sitting around getting stale on dealers lots, I was at a Chevy dealer recently and asked just how badly had gas prices hit their Tahoe/Suburban sales.
The salesman said that the biggest problem was all the trade ins they had.

perhaps it's not astroturf - maybe it's the pokey side of green velcro, and this is a passive safety device.
pedestrians would just stick to it in an accident instead of being thrown to their deaths.
and imagine how easy it would be to tow it home (cause you know you'll be doing that a lot).

since the cancer that really should have killed me 4 years ago didn't, I find myself alternating between paranoid self-preservation and blatant disregard for personal safety.
I have no issue with driving my VW fastback even though I know it offers the protection of a cardboard box of glass shards, but I don't care.
However, I recently passed on buying a late model convertible because it didn't have anti-lock brakes.
Go figure.
