Today we want a 2,500 sq ft mansion and a 3 row SUV.
Remember back when parents would just throw their kids and kids' friends in the back of the ol' Station Wagon?

It's interesting to see how many families have a three row SUV or extended cab pickup for each family member! You see highschool kids going to school in brand new lifted Dodge Rams with giant wheels and tires! Their parents must be well off.
