you can't get people to shake the "wanna be frontiersmen" syndrome. They feel the SUV gives them the ability to survive floods, blizards, nuclear holocaust, you name it. They want to feel the part so they have to look the part. I see an example of this all the time in a little town in the NC High Country called Blowing Rock. I visit there (my folks have a place) at least 6-12 times a year, and you see these people (Floridians, a lot of them, sorry EdG) who are walking around wearing hiking boots, hiking socks, bush hats, etc. "What are they doing?" you ask. Well, they are walking along a quaint, perfectly paved street, shopping in various overpriced boutique shops. 'Yeah, I'm a MAN walking down this street in my BOOTS and cool HAT, baby.' Yes, then you see them climb into an Excursion or something similar and head back to their rental 'cottage'. I know, I'm a Ford Expedition to 9-5 wagon convert. And yes, I once almost slid off the road in the snow in the Expedition. Too fast for my own good :-).
