POLL: Could you live with only owning sedans?

My wife is thinking of trading her SUV (Volvo XC90) in for a much smaller car (AMG GLC 43 Coupe). Since I drive a small sedan, that would reduce our hauling/carrying capacity down to almost nothing.

Could you live without an SUV/Truck in your life?

SUVs are for insecure vain women. Trucks unless you need it for work are for insecure vain men.

You can't wipe the Smug off their faces. They think they're actually saving the world by driving a Prius.

sedans are for poor people who can't afford an SUV or a truck

Honest question: Do you think that SUVs/Trucks drive better than a luxury sedan?

At least he would drive though right?

I’m assuming Baron is either poor or doesn’t live in a place where it snows

LifelongAP

5/10/19 9:09am

Yes, I am poor. Poor in spirit and I do have to deal with the snow. I am just a better driver than you probably.

Baron

5/10/19 9:20am

I know him, he actually just lives in a place where snow tires exist

So no one has one because they happen to like them?

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 9:36am

If they like them, they are vain and insecure. I don't make the rules.

Baron

5/10/19 9:44am

Apparently being "vain and insecure" feels really good....

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 9:47am

Yep a lot sins feel really good. I won't deny that. Satan is cunning that way.

Baron

5/10/19 9:50am

Or they can be life savers...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 10:28am

Yes I guess insecurity and vanity can save your life. Some people need life saving more than others.

Baron

5/10/19 10:30am

No...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 10:36am

Yes. As I said some people need life saving more than others.

Baron

5/10/19 10:38am

Good point...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 10:40am

Probably so. It is better to not be insecure or vain. I agree.

Baron

5/10/19 10:41am

I wouldn't know...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 10:55am

I think you missed it but here you go again:

Baron

5/10/19 10:57am

Oh I got it...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 11:39am

I see science isn't you r strong suit. It is very common for you as an insecure individual to look down on others. Go

Baron

5/10/19 11:47am

I'm always looking down on sedan's as I drive my truck...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 11:48am

Yep that's why insecure people get trucks.

Baron

5/10/19 11:53am

Or why inferior people get sedan's...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 11:56am

Totally fits with your insecurity. Keep going with that. I know you need it.

Baron

5/10/19 12:00pm

I don't need you to bow down to me...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 12:06pm

Of course you don't. You are a very capable person who does his best every day. The truck just

Baron

5/10/19 12:43pm

Well that or else I just like it...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 12:47pm

And as I said:

Baron

5/10/19 12:59pm

Or else what they really are is secure in their own likes and dislikes...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 1:02pm

I don't think you understand how science works. I understand that it can be hard when you are insecure but

Baron

5/10/19 1:07pm

And it's apparent you don't know how psychology works...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 1:15pm

You can feel that way. I know it helps you cope.

Baron

5/10/19 1:23pm

I don't "feel" any way...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 1:29pm

I agree. I feel for those that do that and that leads them to get a truck. I wish they could just be secure with who

Pimpin4Paradise

5/10/19 1:44pm

Do they allow insecure truck people?

Baron

5/10/19 1:45pm

Insecure people? Sure. Truck and SUV people stay at the Four Seasons...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 1:50pm

Gotcha. Safety in numbers. Hopefully it can give you the security and vanity that you need. Image matters a lot

Baron

5/10/19 1:52pm

Image? No. Comfort? Yes. Enjoyment? Yes. Pleasure? Yes.

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 2:04pm

Hey keep telling yourself that.

Baron

5/10/19 2:06pm

I don't need to tell myself...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 2:16pm

Wow you took this way too seriously. You need to lighten up.

Fatalplacebo

5/10/19 2:27pm

You no doubt drive a sedan, probably a Taurus.

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 2:44pm

Lol. Neither one of my cars is a sedan. But I’m glad to see you’re consistent in

Fatalplacebo

5/10/19 4:00pm

So probably a Prius then.

Isn’t a Prius a sedan? Know your vehicles, man. Keep diggin that insecurity hole

Fatalplacebo

I’m sure you think I do. But once again your old man assumptions are wrong.

Prius or not I’m sure it’s something lame...

CoachSpeak

5/11/19 7:34pm

I have not doubt people don't agree with me. It makes them insecure.

Baron

5/10/19 2:49pm

Or it makes them amused.

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 2:51pm

If I can make them amused that is great. I like to help those that need saving.

Baron

5/10/19 2:57pm

Finally we reach agreement...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 3:03pm

Yep. I am glad a truck helps you and I can serve some form of savior to you in providing amusement. You can pull through

Baron

5/10/19 3:05pm

It only helps me in two ways...

CoachSpeak

5/10/19 3:33pm

And because you need it, saving your life right?

Baron

5/10/19 3:41pm

It did save my life, that isn’t even a question...

CoachSpeak

5/11/19 7:37am

Yes it is a question. You don’t know that driving a truck saved your life. It’s impossible to know.

Superkid

Actually you’re wrong, it is possible to know...

But driving a sedan is much more enjoyable than driving a truck or SUV. Typically at least.

Superkid

No it isn't...

Except mileage, environmental impact, cost, convenience, maintenance, insurance,

I don't care about mileage, I can afford gas...

"I don't care about X" is totally different from "X doesn't exist"

You've never driven one apparently...

CoachSpeak

I own a truck and a sedan and a crossover SUV. The sedan drives so much better and is more enjoyable to drive.

No it isn't...

"smooth and easy" ≠ fun and enjoyable...

Exactly. For fun factor, my sedan kills it compared to my truck. I guess if you don't really enjoy driving at all and

Yep, I've always loved driving. I bought a truck about 10 years ago (F150)

If you're going to compare a Ford Raptor to a sedan, compare it to something like an Audi S7. And yes, I'd rather drive

Fitting 2 adults + 3 kids in a sedan is possible, but it kinda sucks

CommodoreCoug

Depends on the Sedan and the kids

Even with just 3 kids, I prefer having 3 rows. No sedan has that
