SUV Haters Unite

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       If this was supposed to be a rant against the SUV it did not work.  
There is an attraction to having a honking big vehicle for pulling race cars 
around.  A 454 cubic inch Suburban pulls like a freight train.
       As an old Hot Rodder, I was lead to believe a UTE was an Australian 
pickup on a car chassis.  That would be the equivalent of a Ford Ranchero or 
Chevy El Camino, only the Aussies were building them way back in the 30's and 
probably before.
       It would also be the equivalent of the Giulia Super pickup conversion 
and similar Alfas.

Ciao,
