so what family size car/truck can fit half-sheets of plywood or long boards? count out all those Civics/Corollas/Yaris/Prius econo-cars.
this past summer we brought 3 or 4 loads of flagstone for our back yard "patio" area. you should have seen the back end of the 1997 Grand Cherokee! i can't imagine how many trips to & from the stone yard it would have taken in a small or medium-sized car. even in a Forester, how much can you load up the back?
sometimes you need a big vehicle to bring home stuff like that from Home Depot and places like that... not to drive 1 kid to school, or yourself to work. if you have to have 1 vehicle, it's got to be one that does everything you need.
