Todd: Used to be that an SUV was completely synonymous with a Chevy Suburban (a misnomer back then, but completely appropo today) and a crew of 8-10 oilfield workers, fire fighters or surveyors going out to or coming in from the field.
Curtis: Yeah! :) I think I "just" old enough to remember those days .......... Todd: Now an SUV is synonymous with anything from a 1st year college student needing room for multiple frat boys and kegs to a Lacrosse Mom (Cricket Moms in other countries). Curtis: I know!! And I hate it 'cause it drags the (true meaning/utility/farm) name of SUV/4X4 through the "media/society" mud (associating it with stupidity). And because I wear the "I'm a 4X4'er tee-shirt", whether they really intended to or not, IT DRAGS ME IN TOO!! THAT's the part I don't like....... BTW, (reply offlist), what's a "Lacrosse Mom"?? Todd: Personal opiniion? Keep the "sport" in automotive confined to the race tracks, take the "S" out of "SUV" and put the vehicle back into perspective and its intended use. Curtis: Agreed!! NFC (No further comments)!! Todd: When Lexus and Mercedes start market UVs you know the auto industry took a wrong turn. (Odd how you don't see too many a Lexus out rutting it through the mud on the farm or hauling firewood to the cabin.) Curtis: (LOL) Sorry ...... :) Todd: $25,000 - $45,000 - the cost of 25-50 acres, an old farmhouse and a mule - is a bit of a sacrificial exchange for quick trips to the corner mart for disposable diapers. Curtis: Now, the disposable diaper part ... that really makes me sick. We've become SUCH a "throwaway society". VCR's "too expensive to repair" ... "might as well throw it away and get a new one" ... sigh .... BTW, where the hell do you get 25 acre for $45K ... that's quite a deal compared to what I've seen....
