Happy IDI'er
My truck is my only vehicle and my daily driver. Funny thing is, my kids love it. I say its because thats what delivers their daddy to them I also feel they are pretty darn safe in the thing. I do understand the need for a miser vehicle. I figured if I did 75% of my driving in a Jetta tdi I would be ahead about $175 a month........after the added cost of insurance and registration. I am also driving around empty a huge amount of the time. The TDI along side of my truck would be the ticket. I can't imagine eliminateing the truck entirely and relying on a car exclusively.......no more firewood, stuck when it snows, no scrapping, no towing trailers, wouldn't even be able to move a lawn tractor. I'd lose my marbles. This year was a wash with snow but one good push pays for diesel for the rest of the year not to mention the side money I can make otherwise. Who knows? If everyone starts ditching their trucks altogether, the ones left with a truck may have an asset that we know not the value of yet.
That is a nice rig you have. Good luck what ever route you choose, just figured I'd give you another view on things.
