But as a genre, the SUV drivers up here have attitude. They can't even see
my Corolla. One of them backed up into my brother's Miata in a parking lot,
with the attendant yelling all the while to STOP! She didn't even stop when
she heard the crunch. Thank God, he was moving in reverse a little, she
only crunched his front plate.

I'm afraid what they would do around our favorite Type 1's, 3's and 4's.
