1. Why now's the time to buy an SUV

When they forclose on your house, you can park it and LIVE IN IT!!!!

2. I saw that and couldn't believe my eyes.

How stupid do they consider the public?

5. It's a very old and stupid argument. If you save enough on the

purchase price, it will offset the cost of gasoline you will use. This argument was used in the 70's to justify the purchase of 5 mi/gal cheap used junkers rather than a new Honda Civic. The number of defects in that thinking are enormous.

4. They are doing that at AOL, too

Hey, you can get a BIG BARGAIN on used SUVs and even new ones! Oh, happy day!

Then you can leave it in the driveway because you can't afford to feed the damned thing.

I drive very little, so I actually considered a used Momvan, because when I do drive I have to haul stuff. They're too damned hard to drive, though, so I ended up with a little econobox.

It's cheaper to pay delivery charges.
