Subject: RE: BS: George Bush is raising gas prices again
I don't own a SUV. I never have. I probably never will. And I agree that they are being used in illogical ways.
However, they do have their uses. My daughter and her husband have three children. These kids are involved in everything from football to ballet (not necessarily the same kids). Each kid is allowed one major commitment and my daughter drives them around numbteen times a week.
They have a 9-passenger SUV and very frequently it is full. She also drives other people's kids on a regular schedule.
My daughter homeschools three days a week and drives the children to Charter school on the other days. This allows them the socialization of their peers as well as field trips that are prohibitively expensive individually.
So, I don't know. I don't have a SUV. I don't need a SUV. My daughter does.
