[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Suburban is just a Tahoe that's stretched 20.5" longer.

It's not wider at all. None. Zero. Same vehicle, same width. Just longer. It can be anywhere from the same weight as the Tahoe, to about 300 lbs more, depending on options.

To put this in another perspective....[b] the 1972 Chevy Impala Sedan, a very, very popular car in it's time, and typical of the size of most sedans of the 60's and 70's,  was 217.5" long.[/b]

A 2020 Tahoe is more than a FOOT shorter than a typical sedan of the 1970's.

And people managed to drive and park those cars without any trouble at all. My mother was one of them. One of many, many millions.

Perspective. Y'all need it.

Those cars were ridiculously long. And then it was 1973.

There's also the issue that a [b]1972 Chevrolet Impala sedan weighed 3,864 pounds[/b], while a 2020 Chevrolet Suburban weighs 5,586 to 5,808 lbs.[/quote]

And my Subaru Crosstrek weighs 3,400 lbs, despite being much smaller. What's your point? [/quote]

The point is that a Suburban weighs almost 3 tons.  People are driving 3-ton vehicles around with their regular drivers licenses.

And then there's the issue that the hood is taller than a 7-year-old. And the issue that the driver can't see children who are in front of the vehicle.

So, a 3-ton vehicle where drivers have a giant blind spot in front. What could go wrong?

Your sedan, wagon or minivan has a blind spot that could hide a toddler, which is even more dangerous, since 1) you clearly weren't even aware of it because of your own arrogance, and 2) because toddlers are more likely than 7 year olds to run in front of a car.

Drivers of SUVs or pick ups are more aware of these blind spots, unlike people like the PP who only drive deadly small cars [/quote]
