I have 4 kids still needing carseats. An SUV is a PITA with the climbing over and in/out. Seriously....I'm pushing 30mpg with both of my minivans.

Quality costs money. If you shop around, you will come to realize that they are like new Toyota/Lexus' in a group of used Kia/Fords'. Plus, after a good 2 years, I developed the patience to understand how iTunes works! ;-) Now if you're knocking mp3 players in general, rock on! :-D I would never buy: - Dasani water(unless I have no choice) - a Hummer(ever) - a boat - rye bread I agree with you on all but the iPod.

Why? I own (or at least my creditors own for now) a minivan and a Mustang convertible. We got the van because we had 4 foster kids (no longer with us), but between the 2 vehicles, the van is far and away the more functional. It's OK on gas (a little better than the 'Stang) and I can pull the seats out to haul stuff. If anything, I'd trade off or sell the 'Stang first, even though it's the cool car. Totally with you on the golf clubs. A good walk spoiled, if you ask me. As for the iPod, eh. I can live just fine without it. That's what CD ripper and burning software is for. I'll make my own CD's, and use my PC for an MP3 player. A fuel-inefficient SUV first? Why? I own (or at least my creditors own for now) a minivan and a Mustang convertible.

Course I never owned one or used one, so my opinion is biased & worthless. I know there's third party software, but still - no thanks! I'm glad someone agreed w/ me on the golf clubs. What an expensive sport. heh. grr, iPod hater for life here. iTunes is wack, IMO. Course I never owned one or used one, so my opinion is biased & worthless.

Its popularity is based on style, functionality, ease of use, etc. I've owned Creative and other brands, and they can be likened to stinky rat turds (except iRiver, which is pretty cool). But, since you have no joy in your life (which is totally sweet), I understand. I'm with you on golf equipment. "Hey, let's buy a crazy-looking bag full of metal sticks, each costing fifteen hundred dollars! It will be totally fun!" Very, very wrong on the iPod.

Plus, chicks will not dig my AirScooter, even if it's an AirScooter II. And yeah sorry, but unlike most people my age, I hate iPods. I know you can get them for "reasonable" price if you hunt for one.. but no thanks. Nick, that helicopter doesn’t look too safe.
