my favorite line of the article...
"Todd Ledbetter, 39, a real estate investor who lives in Columbia Heights, says he and his wife have no choice but to own a Honda SUV, with two boys, ages 3 and 9, and a third child on the way."
Wow a family of 4 and soon to be 5 has no choice but to own a SUV? Funny, I don't remember seeing any SUV's in the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's.
there must not have been 4-5 members of a family back then.
I was thinking the same thing. I really have no choice but to have something that can pull a very heavy trailer. Currently it's an 8 liter V10 monster. I do travel a bit slower, setting the cruise at 60-65 instead of 70-75 and have noticed a decrease in gas consumption and no decrease in being late.
