i agree. we have an SUV and we are not outdoorsy types. i would never drive a station wagon bc i prefer the visibility i have being higher up than road level. 3 kids, and 2 dogs and hockey equipment etc. requires a sizeable vehicle even for driving in the suburbs. I wouldn’t drive a Hummer bc i would not want the SPECTACLE of it, but my husband has a Denali. Personally, i think people should be allowed to drive whatever they want so long as they can afford it and it’s upkeep!

I try to keep my Tahoe out of the mud as well.

I had a guy moaning about the constant rain we have had this summer in Houston and blaming it on globull warming. I asked him if he could figure out why I drove a Tahoe and before that Suburbans. He said to transport my big family? I said NO, it’s because the streets in Houston flood after heavy rains and I want to get through without flooding out.

In a free society, that should go without saying.
As a matter of fact, I refuse to say it.

It's like wearing pants that you got to staple on to prevent them from falling off. If you can deal with the fallout...

(And park it in their garage, if that's what the HOA regs state!)

I agree 100%

However, I also think people should be allowed to snicker and mutter, "Whatta buncha nidjits!" or "Shoot, that's gay!" if there's any indication that the driver is a Democrat.

Thank you for the voice of sanity on this thread.

There’s always an element of the green eyed monster on SUV threads—and apparently in this poor guy’s neighborhood!

Is it just me, or is he the spitting image of Eminem???
