S.U.V. - Stupid Useless Vanity

Ford Motor company has announced the fifth largest recall is U.S. auto history, recalling nearly 5 million SUVs and trucks. Consumer Advocate/Presidential Election Spoiler Ralph Nader says that the faulty, fire-starting cruise control switch could be currently installed in over three times that many Ford products.

This isn't necessarily bad news - Ford appears to have joined a growing portion of the public in (at least partially) recognizing that after their impact on the environment, urban planning, transportation costs, foreign policy and public safety, SUVs really ARE dangerous.
