no, not at all. At the moment I really wish I had a pickup, actually. But not for every day, not unless I move to one of those places I was looking at ten miles up a dirt road in the Santa Fe National Forest. Which is looking less likely.
What annoys me is the Hummers I see driving down impeccably paved streets, their owners sipping lattes from Starbucks and sporting "Drill Baby Drill" bumper stickers. Admit it, that is a *lot* of SUV owners. Possibly most. Pickup trucks and SUVs have their place. I used to have an old F150 once upon a time. I bought it because yeah, I was moving a lot that summer, and the little Toyota sedan I took into Texas hill country was not cutting the mustard on the deep ruts and scattered boulders of Utopia's back roads. And oh yeah, it was the used vehicle currently for sale in that town of 300 people :) But honestly now... most people don't need them. >I will tell you this, we wont be getting some big ass Hummer, or "Look at me >I got an SUV" type vehicle. exactly... not that what I think should really dictate what you get. But by all means if you are hauling straw around, this falls in the category of "needs a utility vehicle in my mind, if you care what I think anyway.
