I've always driven SUV's and now a truck for pulling a trailer and love that I can go into a parking lot and not have to worry about that odd time you'd hit the bumper on the curb.

I've always been in the habit of putting one wheel across the transition at a time, if for nothing else it's way smoother than going perpendicular to it and plowing the whole front end and back end at once instead of one wheel at a time.
The snow banks were fun, I definitely plowed snow with my old car at times, rarely now with a car at stock height. What sucked was thinking it was snow but finding out it had thawed and frozen back as ice. I've never once damaged a bumper though and I've driven some fairly low cars. I did beat the crap out of the X pipe on my S4 on speed bumps. The mountainous over the top huge ones took some severely angled driving to make it over without scraping. I could not make it over the monsters at the Winter Club without scraping. Stuff like that grew pretty old. I absolutely loved snow days in that car though. I'd look for excuses to go for a drive.
