#31 of 1230 How about someone who traded in a Chrysler Concorde by hiwaysanity Jan 20, 2001 (7:02 am)
for a VW Passat wagon, using one of your competitor's on-line services, and had to file with the State's Attorney General's Office to force them to honor their "Guaranteed Price?
#32 of 1230 Here's one by dweezil Jan 20, 2001 (8:13 am)
Has there been any study of the "road rage" phenomenon as a direct result of the increase in the popularity of SUV's? It seem to me that as more of these vehicles have been put into daily use as passenger cars, the incidents of aggressive and BAD driving that provoke "road rage" have increased.At least that is my obervation from the freeways of L.A. You could possibly chart the same decrease in civility that occurs with so many dorks on cell phones wreaking havoc on the street which ALSO sets people off behind the wheel. Is this a study that has ever been undertaken???? All I can tell you is that: wed an "invincible" driver in an SUV and a cell phone to a marginal driving ability and you have a recipe for instant road rage on the part of other drivers who have been cut off, forced out of their lane,etc. and I think you have a correlation between the two.[Add a little rain in SOCAL and you have MAYHEM]. Best to all, hope I didn't missppell anything[!].

Your above post also is off topic. The problem may be there is no more Hide feature.

We don't need a study to create some goofy syndrome which is nothing more than societies acceptability of ill mannered people...   Rich
