OK

Allow me modify my statement:

My philosophy -- if you need anything bigger than a small car or wagon, it's EDIT: generally cheaper to rent it for a day or so, than to finance it, insure it, fuel it, maintain it, etc, etc...

EDIT: For your situation, crunch some numbers to see if it works.

Strike: "Do the Math" -- my intention was not a derogatory "duh" statement, but a request to estimate costs.

Further: I don't see that this is a personal attack from/against/between members in this thread. Each member has different situations.

My point is not to run out and buy a truck/SUV because you might need it a few times a year (and thus drive it every day). Purely my stance, no offense to anyone who feels otherwise. I'm trying to back-up my idea with Science, and so, I agree with Treb's calculations to further support the argument.
