lots of false statements and over generalizations, but then again they do say that it is a "fun way" to look at SUV drivers.

One of my rules is that if it won't fit in my garage, I won't buy it. Plus, if I always park in the garage, it is harder to tell if I am at home or not.

The stiff-arm guy is closest to the type I rant about. (see http://www.suvcitythefilm.com/Pages/steve1.html )

The guys posing like him are the ones I'm trying to capture on camera. Some are like the caraciture in the link above that act like they are on steriods and God's gift. Others are more subdued, looking more like they are in the living room recliner holding a remote with one hand, maybe half-asleep.

What is kind of funny is this is almost the "gansta lean" but it's seldom rappers in BMW's I see doing this. It's more like Ford F250 pickup trucks with white guys that probably are into country music.
