I can take things too personally at times...

And I’m doing it again. This article feels like a personal attack on anyone with a vehicle larger than a Prius (editors note - I DD a 2015 Suburban).

TL;DR - The Escalade is big and a danger to pedestrians, and you are evil if you drive something this big.

Admittedly I can have a thinned skin first reaction to some things. I 100% support the author’s right to have his opinion.

On the other hand, while the blind spots are real, attentive driving can overcome that.

I’d happily read an article about how the Escalade has too many features and distracts the driver from the road. Personally I think driver distraction has much more to do with pedestrian deaths / injuries than the sheer vehicle size (note - I do not have facts to back that up).

[EDIT: I guess I should add that while I can have thin skin, I also let it go really quickly. I was over it before I finished writing this post.]
