Exclamation Darwin's Chariot recalled!!!

Read!

http://www.walletpop.com/article/_a/...er-46%2F406585

I've said it for years and I'll say it now; A large percentage of people who buy ATVs, 4WD trucks and SUVs, etc, have NO reasonable justification for doing so.
(Insert rant from probably drunk and outraged macho prick who cannot decipher OR comprehend "percentage" and/or "reasonable" and feels this post is a direct affront to his manhood.)
I remember the infamous "Paraplegic Makers"...3-wheelers...and how many folks of my acquaintance just had to have one or, worse yet, gave in to their spoiled brat's demands for one. So far as I can recall with certainty, there were three kids and three adults injured among those I knew on a personal basis. One child, (now in his forties,) has been in wheelchair since his mishap and one of the adults, a lady, suffers severe headaches and vision issues since her accident.
The injuries mentioned were bad enough, but one youngster, Roy B., was killed (at age 15) while driving a 3-wheeler his doting single dad had bought him. I knew them both well, as I was Roy's scoutmaster. It still hurts.
(Insert disclaimer as follows "&$^#%$! Lancer! I know what I'm doin' and MY kid can handle an ATV, even though he's still in diapers!")
So, read the article. If you've been jonesin' for one of these deathtraps maybe, just a small "maybe", you'll see the light.
