Wonder if the Ford Foundation gave 'em a grant? According to Frontline, SUVs are a public health risk, in that an SUV is more likely to tip over while turning than any other class of vehicle. Not exactly earth-shattering news, that, of course, but it strikes close to our parking lot. This story recently made big news, but it was buried in the debacle over Firestone tires tearing themselves apart at high speeds. The real story was the number of rollovers in general, not the number of rollovers due to Firestone tires.

The model most prone to tipping was, according to the program, the Ford Bronco II. Why? Because it was so tall and thin that its center of gravity was all messed up. Simple physics.

In our parking lot has recently appeared a Ford Bronco II. But that's not all. Its owner has taken this tippy, fouled-up vehicle... and jacked it up, messing with the center of gravity even more.

I only hope he doesn't hurt anyone else on his way out of the gene pool.
