Sure - you can count a good neighbor that will loan you his truck as well. (my truck is a family truck when my son needs it .. and a neighborhood truck every once-in-awhile)..

I own a house with no pickup!

I've always wanted to get one, but I make do without. Of course, the wife's Pilot takes place of a pickup if hauling is needed...

I Drive a 2002 WRX that my 240Z wants to live up to.

1998 Dodge 2500 V10 4x4

2004 Subie Forester - Just as strong as the WRX but handle worse

Jay :stupid:

Here's what is in our garage:

1968 Chevrolet C10 1/2T pu - 4 spd w/350

1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon

2002 GMC 3/4T Crew Cab 4x4 w/Duramax Diesel (4" exhaust, Edge Juice module w/Attitude Monitor)

1971 240Z

2002 Nissn Sentra SE-R Spec-V is my daily. The '72 240z and '69 2000 Roadster are for nice weekends. The Z makes an occasional appearance at work, but only if it's not too hot out. The Roadster collects dust in the garage until a nice sunny weekend comes along.

Just a few of my reasons for "requiring" a truck...

1) Front End Loaders tend to have problems fitting 1.5 Cubic Yards of mulch in a SUV or the trunk of a sedan.

2) It's a lot easier loading and loading 10 five gallon buckets of driveway sealant (50+ lbs. each) without a roof above your head, that and they just flat out don't fit in the Sentra's trunk.

3) 80 bundles of shingles... 1/2 pickup = 2 trips, Pathfinder = 8 trips.

Carl... your truck brings back some fond memories of my first vehicle, I had a Black '88 Chevy C1500 Long-Bed with the Silverado Package... I loved that truck, 188,000 miles when I traded it for a Toyota MR2, one of my dumbest decisions to date.

Hi Nathan:

Your "Front End Loader"...comment made me laugh out loud. Max, my dog goes everywhere with me in the truck... So when it's time to go to the Cypress Saw Mill for mulch... Max goes with me. As this huge Front End Loader scoops up 3 cubic yards of mulch, and starts to approach the truck - Max is transfixed, I can see him thinking "what the hell is THAT".... I thought he was going to jump out of the truck when the Front End Loader dumped that mulch in the bed!! I was laughing out loud, as he looked at me with one of those "did you see that?".. looks that only dogs can get...

Took three trips to fill the area around the back of the garage initially, then about one trip per year to refresh it. Good thing it's only about three miles from the house.. as three yards fills that 8' bed to above the cab roof.

5 gallon buckets... just put 5 of them filled with paint, 5 filled with primer, 5 filled with roof paint and 1 filled with trim paint in the truck for my latest project - repainting the house. Then picked up a high pressure washer and airless paint system.... Can't fit that in the Yukon XL either.

Just too funny...

2006 Civic sedan, automatic. Fairly ugly generic car, but I actually get a hair over 40 mpg consistently(no fudging) on freeway driving with the AC on. Didn't really expect that good of mileage. Kinda rough and noisy ride(not nearly as plush a ride as my 1992 F150 had). Was able to fit 25 ten foot lengths of 3/4 inch pvc pipe and a few 8' studs inside the car with the trunk closed, so it is more useful than I anticipated. Has lots of goodies in it but it amazes me that it has no glove compartment light. How primitive! May be getting a 1974 Mazda PU in the near future. Victor.

Daily driver is a '97 VW Jetta GT

Since I owned a '72 240Z, I figured I also needed a '72 motorcycle. Last year I bought a '72 Honda XL250. Fun to ride around the back yard. I need to find a tail light assembly for it before I can make it street legal.

My daily driver is a '96 jeep cherokee. I also have a '97 bigdog motorcycle and a '28 Ford model A sedan. The model A is in bits and peices. I hope to make a street rod out of it.
