Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty-five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
She blinds everybody with her super high beams
She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!
Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?

Gotta love the Simpsons. I DIE every time I see that episode. I should really get it on DVD.
I have a point to all of this, of course -- SUVs are getting huge in America. Of course, you didn't need me to tell you that . But here I am with a Camry and a Dodge that's older than I am, and there's these wimpy little "soccer moms" driving these gigantic luxury SUVs. Just take a look at the H3:
Quite a beast.
At this rate, just how big are our vehicles in the future going to be like?
Well, back in World War II, the army used jeeps. The troops like them so much that when the war ended, they started selling jeeps to civilians. In this way, a military vehicle was made into a domestic vehicle.
More recently, our troops abroad in the Middle East started using hummers in the field. They liked them so much that they now sell hummers to ordinary, if somewhat wealthy, citizens. Again, a military vehicle came to use in civilian life.
So I ask you now, what's next???
