*Luke shakes his head at the a*****e in the SUV and then answers.*
I dunno ... maybe running face first into a concrete wall? *Luke offered, smirking.* Or getting kicked dead in the nuts?
By the way, in the Brink, look out for Sato.

Is that the name of a concrete wall or a kick in the nuts?

*Luke laughs.* Well, she's a girl so that oughtta answer that question.
Just some friendly advice. She's got quite an aim.

*he chuckles* I'll keep that in mind. After all, I'm not half the suave ladies man that you are.
*up ahead, the lights of a police car color the swirling eddies of snow in blue and red. A '77 Dodge Charger lost control and 180ed in the rightmost lane before colliding with a Honda Civic. Miraculously, everyone looks okay. As they pass, traffic begins to thin. Bard grumbles*
Everyone slow down and look for corpses now...

*Luke looks at the '77 Charger. It reminds him momentarily... but he shakes it away.* Everybody looks all right...
*As Luke says this, another SUV swerves past their car, causing other cars to blow on their horns. Luke jolts up in his seat.* Oh, what an a*****e! *shouts to the car, as if the driver could hear them, and points both hands towards the road* Do you not SEE the crash?
*smirks as he looks to Bard, realizing how loud he'd been.* Christ.

*pats his lips* If he didn't put all these SUVs here, I wouldn't have to shout so loud.
You ever notice that anyone who drives an SUV pretty much drives like an a*****e? I mean... I guess you have to be pretty ********' stupid to buy one anyway, but...goddamn.
*Luke hunches his shoulders up and down. He was trying to keep relaxed, but the accident put him on edge.*

It's a reptile brain thing. People who buy SUVs like them because they sit higher than other people on the road. They feel safer, so they take more risks. They ought to review their basic physics lessons.

*relaxes a little* Yeah, well. I read this article in Car and Driver. Smart guy -finally- comes out and says just what you were saying. He predicts, given the amount of money it costs to manufacture them, the space they take up, the gas they guzzle, and the lack of suspension that causes them the flip over the minute someone throws on their brakes.... that they won't even make them anymore 15 years from now - because it was such a huge mistake to make them in the first place.

Oh, they'll make them for as long as they can get people to buy them and get the government to overlook how bad they are. I don't know. Maybe if Gore takes the White House next year....

*Luke just lets out a breath. It was so hard not to say anything.*
... You know I think we're breaking enough rules of the space-time continuum without me leaking information about the next presidential election.
*Luke thinks about the joke of an election, 9/11, the War on Iraq, and he has to joke through it.* I already let the word slip on Coldplay.

*laughs* You know, it is ... surprising. But it's not that surprising.
*Luke thinks about Arnold Swartzenegger and he makes a small noise, when he realizes he has to hold that one back, too.*

*Luke looks joking over his shoulder.* Yeah, and you let me know if there's any plutonium back here that I need to worry about.
