I'm one of those terrible people who drive a big SUV. I have a 99 Chevy Tahoe.

My reasoning when I bought it - I live in the country and drive sometimes impassable roads in winter. I also have 3 dogs now and it makes easy traveling for them. And last, but not least is the dear BF - he's 6'5" tall and doesn't fold up well in little cars.

With the exception of the gas costs, it's really nice to take on road trips because it drives and rides nice.
