[911nut]

A while ago, at the start of the SUV craze, I leased a new Ford Contour. A co-worker of mine was shocked and didn't understand why I didn't lease an Explorer "for only $20 an month more".

I don't like trucks. I don't like the way they look, handle and accelerate (maybe that explains my 911 ownership). The SUV is a fashion statement, especially in the more wealthy neighborhoods.

Everyone is free to drive what they want. That's why I drive cars instead of trucks.
