SUVs are mostly not really off-road capable unlike a Land Rover or a similar car.

Nice IROC! I wanted one in highschool along with a corvette and settled on a corvette 10 years later (1981).
Both the IROC and SUV probably do not get great gas milage to begin with. More storage space for computers in the SUV atleast.
Have you driven it enough to notice if the SUV needs front end alignment or makes any odd noises? Not sure whats worse a collision or being submerged in a flood for a week like the thousands of cars after katrina. I would be worried that the people who repaired it might not have done such a great job. Better get that side mirror replaced, around here they will ticket you for that. All in all it looks pretty nice, I asume the interior is nice as well.

I hate being in the cars of smokers.

Everything a smoker owns is ruined.

Wow, that's pretty nice, but why does it have a salvage title? It wouldn't happen to be from New Orleans, would it?

He said mostly. You could class Range Rovers as SUVs but they are also excellent off roaders, just like the Land Rover Defender.

Actually, I live in a cold climate that probably receives more bitter weather and more snow than most parts of the midwest.
As for transporting computers on a bike, I have two comments on that: Don't forget public transit, I've liberated a 840av and Trinitron on the street car and subway. The 'burbs are another story.
You could always put a computer on the flat part where your legs go on a vespa.

Sure, but how many people take SUVs off road? And I mean really take them off road, and not drive them into the ditch when they lose control.

Most SUV's of today are not meant to take off road, all of them are too low and have too squishy of suspension. Plus, they're brand new so why would you want to risk breaking something?
Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco win in the off roading book.
