You, sir, make me laugh!

Your ignorance on long distance interstate driving gives
you away!  Apparently you have never discussed (in your case
I you the term loosely) the topic of small cars with a
cross country trucker.  For your information, their complaint
on small cars is the quick action they are able to take because of
their design.  Have you ever been hauling several thousand pounds
of cattle on a slick wet road when car (of any size) cuts you off
and now you have 2 seconds to decrease you inertia?  A person
who spends tens if not hundreds of thousands on a fine
luxury automobile is less like to make such an ignorant move
because he values his life (not car) more than making the next
exit.  Have you ever thought that a person driving a luxury
automobile (because he can afford one) has much more to lose
financially if he gets hurt in a wreck than the person driving
a Chevette.  Therefore he drives very defensively. (The exception
being those snobs who inherit their fortune rather than achieve
it. They don't give a damn and don't appreciate what they have
and therefore abuse it.)

So the complaint is that drivers of small cars generally speaking
drive more offensively than defensively than those who driver
larger cars!

As for the PIG, you obviously don't drive 50-60K miles per year.
If you did, and did it several years in a row in your 13 footer,
you probably who have an acute case of spinal curve (it's
obvious you already have problems with your spine).
Drive your lawn mower if you want it, you have the right.
Just don't deny me my right for comfort and luxury while
traveling.
