I too only run around 70,000 miles a year, rarely go anywhere. I know the truck is a pos, but it is my pos, not the banks. The reason I put up with it... If I want to take a week off, I take a week off. I don't have to worry about a truck payment. Funny too, I just rid myself of my VW TDI in the buyback. I'm not even in a hurry to buy a new or even a used car... I don't want a car payment, along with paying more in insurance. I'm at that don't give a shi#t point in my life. And besides, the truck gives me reason to buy more tools. ;-)
