I own one motorcycle and no cars or trucks.  But the next vehicle I buy
is going to be a truck -- probably a small Japanese pickup.  Every month
I need a truck at least once to carry a load I would like to pick up.  I
have done without more firewood this winter than I can imagine because I
didn't have a handy vehicle.  And I like to sit above the traffic rather
that down in it.  Aside from gas milage, or because you
want a sports car, or because you need a family car -- I can't see why
you would want a car rather than a truck.  But then I have never owned a
truck.  Anybody care to enlighten me?
