2 liter car executive perk (NAC) (Now SUV)

[Dan DiBiase]

John, I agree and I see all the time in inclement weather, the SUV drivers
that think they don't need to slow down to adjust to driving
conditions.... Nothing like seeing an SUV in a ditch with a dazed driver
wondering why their AWD, anti-lock brake, ESP-equipped SUV with 18-inch
chrome wheels couldn't keep him from spinning on black ice while doing 65
mph!
