You fail to understand human nature. The driving of a large SUV is as much of a status symbol as having a large house in a fancy subdivision. As a matter of fact, having an SUV in a fancy subdivision is almost mandatory. It doesn't matter that it cost significantly more to operate it. Ask yourself, why does anyone need a house with 3000-4000 sq feet for a family of two or four? Answer is because that's a symbol of having achieve means. With two family incomes, this is affordable. I live in snow country and our plowing of roads is just superb. The longest you might be held up is a few hours. Certainly, the next day the roads are clean and dry. Why do people insist on a 4x4? I drive a Caravan and have never had a 4x4 and can't remember when I didn't make it home or got stuck. I've ask many a 4x4 owner when was the last time they had occassion to use all wheel drive. None answered positively....one lady who ran off the road couldn't understand why her 4x4 slid off the road on the icy streets. No one could explain to her that a 4x4 slides on ice just as well as a two wheel vehicle. She just wouldn't buy it. Anyhow,, human nature is to show your stuff and mortagage whatever you need to to show that stuff. This will get you...I've asked some what brand name SUV they had and some have answered "SUV" and looked at me like I came from outer space. "I have a SUV". Yes but who made it? Honda? Ford? They didn't know.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
