With the snowfall today in the Northeast, it’s our vehicle of choice today. It makes it invaluable. Safe, 4WD, nicely equipped, comfortable for us. We had 2 small trucks in the past. Pretty useless if all you are saving is a bit of gas only. This conversation drifted into cost. Doesn’t discuss how nice they are to have. You don’t have to buy one. In fact there is even mass transportation with trains and buses. We have a bus stop in the front of our development, so there’s alternatives. Keep your money in the bank, and if this works for you, go for it. Having an extra vehicle like this today is great. I will probably be the first one into work today. That gets you raises to buy new vehicles.

Uh huh. Buy a 2005 Silverado for $4000, spend another $8000 to "deck it out", then sell it for $7500. What a deal.
