Modern life

On the way into work this morning, traffic was moving verrrry slowly, but I wasn't sure why. Until I moved up far enough to see the flashing police lights; rear-end collision involving two SUVs. Oh, OK. Crept past it into more swiftly-moving traffic... it wasn't until a couple blocks later that the car-geek part of my brain kicked in, and I realized that a Cadillac had hit a Mercedes. (Escalade and ML350, for those who care.) High-end utility vehicles still strike me as a little strange...

How about Luxury Hybrid SUVs? :)

That's probably the next step!

High-end utility vehicles aren't *that* odd, but I still boggle every time I see a stretch SUV. Where, exactly, does a stretch Hummer need to go offroad? And why?

I've wondered about those too... I can only think they're either for people for whom limos aren't conspicuous enough, or who want to feel rugged while out on the town. Odd either way.

I suppose that's it, but the concept makes no sense to me.
