Got a neighbor with a huge SUV that is always trying to run your 914 over? Well, check this out. You might have some legal revenge coming.

Thank you very much. We have a neighbor who believes my 914 is too loud. Same person complains about mopeds, kids, gas blowers, mowers and such.

My friend is self-employed and just did this with a ~$40K Eddie Bauer Expedition. Good for him, bad for the other tax payers...

i thought the tax break was a load of crap. the big suvs have about as much in common, use wise, as my 914 has to a pickup. i've yet to see an escalade, expedition, etc, loaded with a yard of gravel, topsoil, or a stack of lumber.

Here! Here!

I just love the SUV owners that try to use that excuse as justification for thier blighted existense.

If I wanted a pickup... I'd get a pickup. I can put more sh*t in my minivan than they can get in those stupid things and I get 28 MPG. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

they need the 4 wheel drive for all the stump jumping, logging road running, and water/stream crossing they do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . when we get the rare bit of snow and icey roads there are more big 4x4s in the ditch than anything else.

I have driven 914's in the snow/ice for years. They work good as snow plows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't drive a car to work. I use to take a bus, but my day job relocated me to BFE so there are no commute options. So I ride my motorcycle daily rain or shine. Have for about 6-7 months now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ?? My 914 is a driver, but not daily. Some a$$hole in an SUV will surely smash it after all that hard work I put into. SO I choose my times and days to drive it.

My wife has a Jeep Cherokee Classic style. We use it to tow boats, trailers, go camping (no camping in trailers though) and haul stuff, a lot of stuff inlcuding people. That old straight 6 rocks. Talk about your torque monster! Just because we don't like having a lot of cars, she drives it daily and I keep it in tune for her. So 75% of the time, it isn't needed. But I think it is better than owning another vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Her Jeep is rugged and just looks like it could kick butt off road (it does). I can't stand SUV's that seem more station waggen like than 4x4. Mild street tires, little ground clearance. What is the point?

for all of you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My daily driver is an F250 diesel

weight=6337

MPG =22 highway
17 town
15 towing 8000 lbs

Beside the F250 being my daily driver, I legitmately use it for work also..

So I get a tidy little tax break.

Since when did anyone have to justify what they drive?

And do you really "hate" someone because of what they drive?

sheesh

In a couple of weeks we'll be at CampJeep in Solvang talkin' bout how we hate those stupid lil' sports cars n stuff. Then after I set up my smog exempt car with carbs and drive on the street I'll complain about those who seek exemptions. I'm not sure if I should hate my Passat wagon, I'll have to get back to that.

In the tone of MaliBoo'z Most Wanted " don't be hating"

YEAHBUT!

Unless you've got a 2005 WK or an old SJ your Jeep doesn't cross the 6000 lb GVWR. The rest are too reasonably designed.

My point is not to anger the people who buy and use a large truck for business. What I was trying to point out was that Suzy soccer mom in the Lincoln Navigator can now be legimately ticketed for driving down your residential street where your kids play. Because it is legally classified as a "truck" and is over 6000Lbs GVW, it is restricted from using residential streets.

So start calling the cops on Suzy soccer mom for using your street. After all you have to pay for the street repairs, and residential streets arent' designed for loads over 6000lbs.....

I never said I hate the people who drive SUV's, just the excessive SUV's. Conveniently enough though, 90% of the people here in the bay area who drive these monstrosities have a cell phone glue'd to their ear while they're cutting you off/ running you off the road because their vehicle is simply too big for them to handle and talking on their phone is more important than everybody's safety. Is this reason enough? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The language Alex and his droogs spoke was part russian, part cockney. Horror show is correct, and it means roughly the same as xhoroshow (sp).
