[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]These vehicles are insanely expensive.[/b]  I'm sure they're more than affordable for many in the DC area but when I travel the country I often see middle class and poor people getting out of these (and I mean actual middle class as in a household income of 50k, not DCUM "middle class").  In many parts of the country you'll see a huge SUV sitting next to a house and often time the SUV costs more than the house.  Lots of people in this country are making poor financial decisions when they buy these vehicles and get 7 and 8 year loans.  That's how they're affording them.[/quote]

Also insanely difficult to park. They don't even fit into many regular parking spaces.

And then there's the turning radius.

But sure, a Suburban is such a practical vehicle to drive around in downtown DC by yourself...[/quote]

They fit poorly into many parking garages as well.  When I'm in a parking garage and see one of these, I can tell that the driver chose poorly.[/quote]

I lived in DC and owned a Suburban for many years.  I also had an 8 member household and also routinely used it for towing.  I assure you I didn't choose poorly.[/quote]

You didn't choose poorly if you only used your Suburban to transport 8 people at a time, and/or for towing.

But otherwise, yeah, you did.[/quote]

It's almost like they ignore everything anyone writes and say, "I'm the exception to the rule!".  Sure, they're the exception and a suburban was the right vehicle for them.  You still shouldn't be parking it in many parking garages.  I was at Rio a couple weekends ago and there were full sized pickups and SUV's that could barely drive there.  The vehicles were longer than the spaces and they had to back up to get up and down ramps with a car coming the other way.  It was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen, especially since I'm sure most of those people own a second smaller car.  Even a regular crossover would have made more sense.[/quote]
