That's why more pickups are driven by women now then men. They feel "safe" in a big vehicle. Being high up there is a sence of security that isn't there with a slow low car.
You're step dad probably has the first time in his life where he feels like king of the road. I'm tall, 6'4" and I drive a camaro! My dad (6'3") had 3 fiats, a subaru wagon, and a vw golf before his back got bad, now he's had 2 suburbans since 1990. He also has a new family (divorced) and so with 2 children his wife wants him to keep the suburban even though it gets 12mpg .
Women are the driving force behind vehicle purchases since the 90's, that's why we have so many SUV's. If it were guys we'd have sports cars and lifted jeeps, nothing imbetween. In other words, women are to blaim for the gas guzzling .
Guys are dangerous, we don't care so much about our safety. Look at most of the extream sports and you'll see what I mean. Not saying there aren't exceptions but when it comes to putting our self in harms way it's just another thrill.... like testing our cars top speed on every road trip or drag racing or tail gating a car that's only going 5 over.... it's just something guys do, weird yes, but nothing stranger than the majority of women driving around by themselves in huge trucks. In other words, if you want to pick-up a chick for life buy an SUV .
