It doesn't absolutely resolve the objective question of 'need', but its a pretty reliable indicator.Alan Bakered
Quite obviously, he had one when he NEEDED one.
quite obviously, the mention of a timeline for when it's a fad is something he thinks is relevant, otherwise why bring it up, right? =A0:P
As I said before you wrote the above:
"SUV's had been ~5% of the market for decades ... but then suddenly took off in marketshare...
...despite *NO* increase in sales of camping trailers, despite *NO* increase in sales of boats (boating trailers), despite *NO* increase in family size, *NO* huge shift in global warming causing worse winter blizzards, etc, etc, etc."
If I really had a need for one, I'd have one. I don't see any need to get simply as a superfluous embellishment of ego, or as a toy (my tastes differ for that), nor for the current lame excuses which are today usually irrational insecurities and other elements of compensation.and no, for the record i don't have a suv. =A0:D
If you want a translation for that, it is that if I needed it as a tool, I'd get one and call it a tool and if I wanted one as a toy, I'd get one and call it a toy. But I'm not going to buy a toy and try to rationalize that I 'needed' a tool...that's self-delusion.
