For me it's SUVs. . . .
So hate me if you must, but SUVs are my bane! Begone all of you. I'm going off to illegally import a Tata Nano just for spite!
ah, I respect your rant and you make great undeniable points
however, anything can be rationalized:
we were a family of 3 + dogs which made trips with us
my first SUV, 2002 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT, was purchased when my son started attending a private parochial school K - 8 which had no bus
guess what got used as the " bus " on field trips
and I was the Cub Master of the Pack
guess what was used as mass transit
guess what was used as mass transit and tow vehicle as he progressed into Scouts and HS Marching Band when the band went to out of town competitions almost weekly, during the fall and for the Church's youth group travels
guess what was used when the wife wanted to visit her mother near Sioux City Iowa at any time of the year,
including snow season, and served as mass transit when the family went to the big town for the movies
now, it is just the two of us, but the wife wants to get to work regardless of the weather and she still wants to visit her mother
during snow season
so we just got the 2016 Acadia Denali
do we need it all of the time
of course not
but how many people have things they don't need daily?
like perhaps multiple varieties of the same lens ???
