I have an entire fleet at my disposal.

Sometimes I walk.

Next up is bicycling, which I try to do the bulk of the time. Pretty much takes care of in-town stuff unless the weather is foul.

Next up is the electric bike, for shopping (it has such nice baskets) and for when I'm too lazy to pedal the bike.

Next up is the Gold Wing. It's surprising how much stuff it can carry!

Next up is the Tempo, then the Sable wagon. Actually I haven't had access to several of my cars all summer. I've gotten by quite well... guess I don't really need them?

At the top is the pickup. OK at the peak of the top is the pickup with the big flatbed trailer. I can move mountains with that setup. It's exceedingly rare that I need to do that though anymore. Situations change over time.

I think it's about matching vehicle to task. I know it isn't practical or desireable for everybody to have a fleet such as this. But I do lots of when I see the continuous parade of single-occupant and otherwise empty full sized 4x4s.
