I've thought about it since I've reduced my driving so much, but there are times when I really need a vehicle. I've got a small pickup truck, and it is great for hauling stuff - like our kayaks and camping gear. I paid cash for the truck years ago, with money I inherited when my Mom died, so it has a lot of sentimental value for me. I don't spend much on gas and insurance is relatively cheap for a 12-year-old truck, but repairs can get expensive on an older vehicle once parts start wearing out. I've had to overhaul the brakes and replace the batter so far this year, and new tires will be needed sometime soon.
