I own a 2009 Traverse and I wouldn't suggest seriously taking it off road. I'm sure it would do better than most, but there are too many flimsy body pieces that would bust. It IS a great everyday family vehicle however. Hardly even notice when we're pulling camper. Plenty of room.   By far my '73 FSJ (Full Size Jeep)...more

I suppose we should fine/close all the highways too. I myself hit wildlife at least 3 or 4 times a year - poor squirrels, skunks, coons, frogs, and possums. Go out and drive 2 or 3 miles on the highways around here and you'll find plenty of road kill. Oh, and don't forget the bugs on my windshield. I agree we should...more

What a crappy article. I'm looking to see what the vehicles are and how they influenced...something. But there nothing here. Some of these did influence their rivals as well as pushed the bar higher, so why not say it.   Some are cool, like the Viper, but it really had no influence on anything anyone else did or has ...more

I think he should follow it up by building the car and conducting tests. Somebody call myth busters. Besides, Fred is definitely about 250 lbs.

Lesson 1, talk to your kids as often as possible about anything, current events, but also about what they are learning in school. Don't forget to ask them what they think. And be respectful.   I used to do that, but I have teenagers now and all of the sudden they know everything and I don't know anything, or so they ...more
