I'm glad you didn't think I was being intentionally
mean, just stirring it up of course. Intellectually,
we all know what the ideal situation would be in
terms of mass transit and personal vehicles. But
putting it into practice is another thing. I have
additional excuses for owning an SUV, for one, when
we bought it there was no way anything but a 4x4
with high clearance could climb up my folks' cabin
driveway in the winter. And it was a long haul with
a baby and little one getting our gear into the cabin.
Sometimes even the SUV couldn't do it, a lot of work
just so the kids could play in the snow.

But the cabin was sold into the hot real estate market,
and now I have an SUV which, for sure, is not the ideal
suburban mom vehicle.
