Saw his urban suv which was black like most BMWs and had 4 discreet pipes
out the back. As we all were hacking our way thru the mountains etc between
Katoomba and Lithgow, I noticed this thing had huge tyres on it, and seemed
to just set the pace,..got alongside it at Lithgow,..it was a 4.4L,..no
wonder. The new Hilux with all the driving lights an stuff on it which
jammed me behind a semi crawling down Mt Victoria, looked pissed when he
couldn't haul it in,..then the BMW turned into Maccas at Lithgow,..mum was
driving it!

Power does wonders....

My father in law has the 4.4.  Pretty quick but useless offroad.  20" wheels
don't help either.  I can't see the point.

Even BMW have got on the "urban SUV" bandwagon. Mean looking thing.

Like most oversize cars and 4WD in particular it serves a few purposes
aside from the rare practical ones:

1. Ooooh I can see over things
2. I feel safe above everything else
3. I makes me feel like I have a larger sized penis
  (possibly even stretching to average)
4. It makes me feel like I *have* a penis
5. It makes it less obvious that I'm gay

You forgot:

few seconds before they break apart and fall away.

I can ram other people and their families to smithereens and mine will stay
safe! Compete and win! My genes go to the next round!
