Having a truck on hand for use if needed is a great thing. However, a car would be so much more economical for DD or long distance walmart trips. When I had my truck I kept it parked and drove the car everywhere. So much more practical, easy to park and cheaper on fuel. Its pretty clear to me that most truck owners enjoy them as more of a status symbol then a necessity. ---

I’ve got a company vehicle to drive to work so the truck only gets driven a little during the week and on weekends. I’m not much of a car person, everytime I get a car I end up wanting another truck so I’m just going to stick with trucks. ---

Sounds like you want one, not like you need one. Let’s be honest here Paul. You should probably get a smart car. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/overheating-brakes/267224.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/overheating-brakes/267224.md?page=5)
