Informal Poll - NOT Political

Recommended Posts

Late each afternoon we sit on our deck and enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine. About 75 to 100 yards behind the house is Country Club Road which at that hour is pretty busy. As I watch the vehicles I have taken notice of the breakdown of types, not including commercial types or school buses of course.. My casual observations show a distinct pattern of somewhere between 8 or 9 out of 10 vehicles are SUVs. During lunch at a regular spot of ours I could see perhaps 15 or so vehicles in the parking lot across the street. What I saw was 1 pickup truck, 2 sedans and the rest...you guessed it...SUVs. Nothing was an electric type, so from what I could see they were all gasoline powered. We drive 2 SUVs and I was wondering about the folks here...What do you drive?

I have a mini van and you guessed it ... and SUV.  I prefer the van and have a new plug-in hybrid on the way to me next week.

4x4 Pickup, 4x4 SUV, and AWD sedan.  I used to drive in the snow often and didn't want to get stuck. Also hate putting on chains.

You see SUV’s because sedans and mini vans are a thing of the past. The modern SUV is nothing more than a soccer mom station wagon. Personally I hate them and long for a new big old American sedan. I own a GMC Sierra 2500 P/U truck, a Subaru Outback and two Nissan Muranos. I know the car wash call the Subaru and the muranos SUV’s but they are closer to sedans to me, which is why I bought them.

I drive an SUV now. I'm too old for those smaller, lower to the ground cars. 

Yep. A tired old 2004 Ford 150 with the dreaded Triton 5.4 and 175K basically trouble free miles. A 2024 Suburu Forester Touring edition with more bells and whistles than I can figure out. I had a sharp black Mustang coupe not too long ago but got to the point where I had to fall out of it and then get up from the ground. Need a vehicle seat closer to butt height.
