SUV=SubUrban Vehicle

That's what I thought the acronym stood for when I was younger, because I would usually see them in suburbs. Now that I'm older, I refuse to call them sport utility vehicles because suburban vehicle is a much better description of their intended use-case.

They're great at driving onto sidewalks, or over the curb if the person in front is taking too long at the drive thru.

Considering there is nothing sport or utility about them, I think your name for them is fitting.
