What the hell is with SUVs?

People in SUVs always seem to be more cyclist hostile (at least in chicago.) Now perhaps it's different in other places, specifically where SUVS are used for their off road capabilities, but it's horrible in chicago. I get cut off more often, yelled at, engine reved at, and they often pull far to the right so I can't pass them.

Perhaps it's because SUV people have security issues. They say that more woman buy SUVs then men because they like to feel more powerful on the road with a higher seating perspective. Perhaps that need for more power translates into cycling hostility.

Or perhaps people who drive SUVs are just in general more ass***ish.... ::shrugs::
