You keep telling yourself that honey.

I have a friend who fancies herself a hot mom and the day she bought a white Suburban was like the pinnacle of her hot mom achievement. She was over the moon.

What does having a white SUV have to do with being a "hot mom"? What even is a hot mom? Like actually attractive or just works out a lot and wears leggings? What are the other markers of a hot mom?

I feel like I've stumbled into a weird subculture here and I need more information. If you'd asked me yesterday what kind of car a hot mom would drive, I would have assumed something small and sporty. Not a white Suburban. That's like the blandest car I could possibly think of.

Oh it’s a lifestyle honey. This is exurban hot mom, not real rich DC hot mom. Exurban hot mom is either a SAHM or has some sort of admin job (not a career striver, not the breadwinner), DH owns his own blue collar company, she drinks white claw all day with the other hot moms while the kids play, wears cold shoulder tops when she has girls nights, tan and mostly in good shape but a little soft (all that mommy juice!) kids play every sport and it’s a reflection on her (definitely owns a t-shirt that says Connor’s mommy! in team colors) and she drives a white Suburban!

Same. And I've bought new cars, too, and you don't always have a ton of choices.

I actually agree with PP. I think the trend is starting to change, though. So many moms have white cars that’s it’s become a little overkill in the pick up line.

I love my alpine white and I LOVE BMWs white. In certain brands it's my favorite color

Ive had black, blue, white and my first car was green. Black was sooo hard to keep clean!

I love black vehicles, but got an awesome price for a white car. I sit in the car and pretend the exterior is black.

I love white cars and especially white SUVs

+1 I hate gray/silver cars. They are so hard to see in the rain or fog. Would never buy one.

I love white. I think they look clean and sparkly. And they’re more visible at night. What an odd question.

Black cars look like Uber and Lyft cars or Secret Service if big Suburban (usually tiny blonde Mom of 5 driving those though) is why I purchased a white car (as well as visibility). I do like the black card though.

+2 I care a tiny bit in the sense that once we decided on a car (last year's model bought in December for a discount), we went to the dealership intending to buy a charcoal version. There were only white ones left so that's what we bought. Make/model/amenities/price matter. Color, notsomuch.

+3. Do not really care about color. My car serves a function. I am not invested in what it looks like. I am driving a "funky" colored car currently because it's a reliable brand, the car had barely been driven, and the price was right. Bonus for this absentminded mom: I can always easily spot it in a busy parking lot!

I always thought people just picked a color because... that was the color they liked.

I like white SUVs! But I also have a very neutral palette in my house and wardrobe. I hate colored cars with the exception of a certain type of navy blue. My husband’s silver/charcoal car is okay but I feel like charcoal is the most popular color of cars. I am most definitely not a hot mom.

I thought a white Range Rover was the requirement to be a hot mom? When did it turn into the Suburban?

I can't keep up.

WASP hot mom (RR) vs. Catholic hot mom (Suburban)

Hell, the Suburban costs more than the RR!

This exchange led me to google "hot mom white SUV" because I didn't know this was a thing. But all I found is that there is some kind of debate between minivan moms and SUV moms?

I drive a hatchback. Imma gonna back away slowly before anyone looks at me.

According to that recent thread about the woman's Subaru Forester roasting her, it sounds like a white Subaru Forester is a bad idea because of sun glare of the hood and the size of the windshield?
