E.L.F. says it burned SUVs. There have also been related acts of vandalism in the Richmond area.

All stuff like this does is increase insurance rates, which eventually gets passed down to you, the consumer, once you go out and buy your spiffy new hybrid electric car.

Instead of setting fires, you should shop around for an insurance company that's not going to pass on the cost of SUV violence to you.

.... drivers of sport utility vehicles receive an indirect subsidy because SUVs cause more damage in accidents but their premiums are no higher than those for standard cars.

I wonder how long it'll be before there's an ethical car insurance company that won't cover SUVs, the same way ethical investment funds won't touch the Monsantos and Dows of the world ?
