I don't get it

What is it with people that drive these gigantor SUVs, but slow down almost to a stop to go over a speed bump?? I was pulling into the garage this morning and got stuck behind someone in a Suburban who was taking the speed bumps at 5 mph. Seriously? If they're afraid to take it over a speed bump, why the hell did they buy the monstrosity? Are they compensating for big shortcomings elsewhere or do they enjoy taking out a home equity loan just to fill their gas tank? It boggles my mind.

Have you ever ridden in an SUV over a speed bump? A hellacious thump and jounce.....unless you hit it at 37mph...then you don't hardly feel it. (madcity)

Yes, we go over them all the time in the Cherokee. I've never had to come to a near stop just to go over it and it hasn't been any different than going over it in the car.
