??? So what you are saying is that these people have minds like putty. They traded their "gas efficient" LOL mercedes for suvs because they saw slick ads on TV that convinced them that they lived on dirt roads, in the mountains, snow everywhere, when all they had to do was look out of their living room windows, and see that they actually lived in downtown Burbank.

People don't decide what will be built and sold, they are lemmings who just start buying it after it's been drummed into their heads that they really, really have to have it

You are absolutely right, Karen. After listening to all those commercials I ran out and bought a $45,000 SUV.
When I got it home my wife asked me why I bought it and I told her I was a lemming and really had to have it. Any way. It does seem to haul my 28' boat and our travel trailer better than the Neon we have. Maybe I'll keep it.

Ken.
