The only one of those that requires a large car is six kids (which is pretty rare). Bike racks work great on small cars. Home Depot delivers. I rent a van or truck to move furniture the one time a year I need to do it. Most people who drive a giant SUV absolutely do not need one.
- valuearb 6y agoNo one needs a car at all. We could live like hermits in the woods and go back to hunting and gathering. But if you live in the real world, why not drive a car that makes it easier to do all the things you want to do, if it’s easily affordable?
- Dylan16807 6y agoThanks for the slippery slope, but they're saying that it barely makes it easier. So the question is how much money you want to spend on that barely.
- stephencanon 6y agoOr alternatively, how much nicer of a car would you like to have for the same money? Most large SUVs are not well-constructed, nor are they much fun to drive. They’re just big. My smallish wagon does everything a typical family (2 adults, 2 kids, dog) has a regular need for (heck, I carry trees and 2x12s and gravel in it, which is more than most people need). On the rare occasion that I’m buying furniture and they don’t deliver or whatever, I rent a van. As a result, my day-to-day driving experience is infinitely more pleasant.
- valuearb 6y agoNo the question is why are you hectoring other people with different use cases for how they choose to drive their cars?
- Dylan16807 6y agoThe comment of yours that I replied to was in response to someone whose first sentence is an acknowledgement that the use case of 6 kids does need such a car. Then they suggest that the other use cases are valid but people like them don't need such a car despite those use cases. How did you interpret that as "hectoring other people with different use cases"??
