Today is your day Boomer! We live in a "what-if society" Boomers....a "I will buy this, in case I need it one day!" Check out all the tools in your garage, like a special saw that cuts metal box corners; how often do you use it? Advertisements on social media like this one: "selling my powerboat-only used twice in past 2 years." A new study out of Quebec indicates that we have the same mentality about SUV's....those bigger vehicles that almost half of North America drives, including a whole lot of Boomers! For example, how often do you use the four-wheel drive option? Here are some survey numbers. 74 per cent of Quebec SUV owners said they had never used their towing hitch. 39 per cent of SUV owners said they used most of their seats at least once a week, compared to 31 per cent of sedan owners. 38 per cent of SUV owners said they use all of their cargo space at least once a week, compared to 32 per cent of sedan owners. Sporadic use...."just-in-case I need it" use. But....think of this. SUV's produce 30% more carbon emissions than regular-sized cars, and gas-powered vehicles are the second-biggest contributor to global warming. Yikes! I have a truck and two SUV's, so I am guilty here as well. Boomers...something to seriously consider when buying your next vehicle?! Do you really, really "need" that bigger size? Cheers...
