I daily drive a civic that I bought 10 years ago when I had a substantial daily commute to deal with. When we bought our house I sold my 99 Ram 2500 quad cab long box truck. 4x4, diesel, snow plow on the front, man I loved driving that thing, aside from the auto trans (I prefer stick), cold blooded-ness and poor fuel mileage in winter. When we bought our house I needed a few extra bucks for the downpayment and lawyer fees so I sold it. Right now with my wife as a stay at home mom for our kids, the increase of fuel cost to go back to a truck would be a tough pill to swallow. However if I could afford it, I would.
