SAH/WOH - Why?

I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.

Why did you decide to sah/woh?

Was it a choice or something expected of you?

Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

Yes. But it's not specific to hybrids, he won't buy any car that is in it's first 5 or so years of manufacture. He got to give me a big fat "I told you so" when I bought a Pontiac Aztek. LOL

ETA: First 5 years or so of engine design, not necessarily the make and model of car.

But if no one buys the car that is already made and sitting on the lot the car manufacturer will cut back production. Get it?

I am sure you will be happy to show me your data to prove your claim.

That it's materialistic regardless of the reasons one chose the suv....unless the weather warrants them on a frequent basis, they are hugely materialistic.

I don't think it clouds the view, I think it clears the view.

Not any more than needing a minivan for more seating. Needing an SUV for towing purposes, or because you frequently have to haul a lot of things.

Yes, because they don't have the same impact on the environment.
