No apology necessary.

I agree 100% that a car is a better solution IF the truck isn't needed as a truck. I should post the link to Johnny Mullet's thread where he documents the financial payback of buying a second hand beater to offset his pickup usage. )

I was just concerned with the impression the original poster would have after getting two "short" responses in a row that told him to get rid of the truck rather than how to help him drive it better.
