I think buying an SUV is a great idea. As gas prices go up, it cost more and more to commute daily, so why not just buy a huge SUV, park it at work, and live in it? On weekends, your wife can come by and pick you up in her hybrid so you can spend some time at home with the kids.
And think of the practicality! Cat 5 hurricane coming your way? No problem! We can move inland any time we want. Can't do that with your house now, can you? Think of the money FEMA would've saved, not having to buy those trailers that they didn't use anyway.
That's it! The government should issue Katrina victims an SUV! It would help Detroit with its excess inventory problem!
