If I lived up there I would also be driving a big pick up truck with lifted suspension and big tires...BTW I live in the suburbs and there is a huge amount of trucks and jeeps driving around here that never even see any off road or are used for work and utility. Some people just enjoy driving big vehicles.
Ha Ha, I actually do, drive a Prius...
Now, I too have a big assed 3/4 ton diesel 4X4...
But, this is how it works for me and the wife. We used to just drive my truck for everything, as that is all we had and one day I figured out that for what I spent on driving that truck yearly, for everywhere when a car could have done the same thing better and cheaper , I went out and bought her a Prius C
and now, when I need a truck I drive a truck and when I need a car I drive the Prius.
And here is the kicker... I/we have saved about $1,000 per year, every year for the last 3 years on total vehicle costs, and now we have 2 vehicles instead of one...
for less moneys...
Using the type of vehicle that does the best job, whether it's just moving people or moving big stuff... See how it works...
