SAH/WOH - Why?
| Mon, 02-20-2006 - 7:41am |
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?

How much does it cost you to fill your tank?

SUV sales have dropped considerably in the past year.

I was reiterating because although you didn't argue, you didn't grasp the full meaning of what I was saying. Or if you did, you didn't communicate it.
You might be right about the Pilot/2003. I bought my 2002 Labor Day Weekend that year, so it is quite likely the Pilot was a 2003. I just don't remember.
Well, I meant 6-cylinder to 6-cylinder. I didn't say it but that is what I meant. There IS not much difference there.
And I do think there is a big difference in mileage between the Sequoia and the Odyssey. 18 and 25 IS a good-sized difference.
Although you weren't complaining about people driving large vehicles, you were chastising PKA (I think) about driving a large-sized car you thought she didn't need. My point was that the a van is not much different than a 6-cylinder.
Ummmn not so much. They are back on the rise.

There is just as much difference between the Odyessey and the Accord as there is between the Odyessey and the Sequoia.

No I wasn't at all. I told PKA I didn't blame her one bit. If you scroll through this thread I said I didn't blame her a bit. I think her buying a van was a great idea. I enjoy the extra room. However for mom to scrutinize ME for driving an SUV and not scruntinize PKA for driving a minivan when she isn't carpooling and only has 1 child is bit hypocritical.

So? I was comparing mini-vans to 6-cyl. cars in the case of PKA that's it saying that she had actually gotten more for her money by buying a van instead of a 6-cyl sedan.
You are right, though, the Odyssey is a different animal than the Sequoia. The Sequoia is very nice but it is a gas guzzler and doesn't have any more room than an Odyssey. I think, except for the towing issues, the Odyssey is a much more practical choice.
