About 6 weeks ago, we bought a new vehicle. Our last car had over 150,000 miles on it, and was 12 year old. At first, I felt guilty buying this new car. Mostly because I care deeply about the environment, and our new car is an SUV (gasp!). Not very earth-friendly, I know. But my husband convinced me that this was the right choice because :
1) we got it for a really good price,
2) it has a 3rd row seat, which is really handy now that the boys are getting older and wanting to bring friends along, (and neither of us wanted a mini-van).
3) It's 4 wheel drive, and handles great in the snow and ice.
Boy, am I glad we got this new car! Today we had another snowstorm; 8 inches by late morning. Cars were off the road left and right, but I had no problem.
Plus, it has a seat warmer, and boy that thing feels nice on my derrier in the dead of winter!. Thank goodness for life's little luxuries!

Seat warmers are wonderful. I'd like one for my deak chair, please! ;^)
I'd thought I'd email you in response to your question on my blog, but I see you don't have an email address posted. If you email me (bottom of my blog), I'll email you back, 'kay?
I understand how you feel about the environment, but SUVs are awesome. I care deeply about the enviornment, but have always had one. I am thinking about buying a hybrid SUV, but am not convinced that hybrid technology is the way to go...I think it is an in-between step to another earth friendly vehicle. You go girl!
