I bought my '94 Bravada to haul band equipment, largely because I hate
station wagons (Dad loved 'em, my first car was a '76 Ford Gran Torino
Squire with fake wood trim). The full-time 4wd is great in the snow in
CT. Being on Oldsmobile, it ride like driving my living room. It towed
home my first roadster after a 15 year hiatus. It still looks and drives
like new after 140,000 miles.
Wouldn't ya just know when I got the registration the darn thing is
listed as... a station wagon.

On the SUV subject. A lot of people on the list have/had SUVs. We
bought
them for good reasons.
So, way does a Mom buy a SUV? One reason is the husband wants a SUV to
haul
the boat, go hunting in, etc.. but can not afford or just does not want
2
car payments. Sooo, "hey honey the mini vans getting high miles and I
think
a SUV will haul the kids". Second, as in my wife's case. Want the
room
but hates mini vans and station wagons. Of course she traded the SUV
for an
expensive 4 door she really doesn't like......

Don't be an @$$ - I haven't tried to stop anyone from buying what they
want,
now have I - or
even advocated it - I have just pointed out flaws in the reasoning
people
use to justify what
they want to do, something else that we are free to do.
