Credit-card delinquencies hit record - Good read I thought.

Key word here is "commuting". I'm from ND and the people who own trucks and SUVs there actually use them like you describe and then some and I'm not against that. Here people use them to drive to their office job. They always say "well it's nice to have, because we tow our boat once a month, blah, blah, blah". In reality it's used as a utitlity vehicle 2% of the time and as general transportation 98% of the time. Here's an idea, get a truck AND a car and use the right one for the right job. Seriously get a Honda and stop fucking up traffic, parking, etc with your oversized, overprized, gas wasting land yaht. The bad thing is they've gotten so "buick like" that idiots actually think these vehicles stop and handle like cars.

I'm not driving a Honda. Hell, I feel like half a sissy boy driving my DSM. You have a good point though, and that is exactly what I do. My FWD DSM got over 30mpg and I'm hoping I can average somewhere around 25MPG in the AWD car. If not I will pull the t-case/driveshaft and FWD around until snow is on the ground and the AWD will be a benefit.

Smart man.

I don't so much care about the mileage they get (as long as the owner doesn't bitch). I just think they're too large for everyday driving and they're defintely not helping traffic any. Most of it is probably because I can't F'n see around them and they're driving in the left lane like they own it.
