    The opposing view...

    In reading the news from the Detroit Auto Show for news about the new Dodge Ram 3500 (1,000 ft/lbs of torque), I ran across a "news" site dedicated to making us realize that we're all just killers on wheels...I thought it was a parody site at first, but these loons are actually serious...Here's a sampling:

    "Giant Ram 3500 'breaks the sound barrier' for power and intimidation"...

    "Investigative reporters conclude that America's love of SUVs is killing pedestrians"...

    "Why do pickup trucks have such aggressive front ends?"...

    Now I'm too ashamed to drive anywhere, and too intimidated to walk...I guess I'll just sit alone at home and wait for Nancy Pelosi to send somebody on a bicycle to bring me a veggie burger so I won't starve......Ben

    Mmmmm… it has a 6.7 liter diesel with 400 HP and 1,000 ft lb of torque. If it comes with a stick - I'm in.
