Your mother is going to get you killed if you keep listening to her. The energy in a collision has to go somewhere- do you really want your ribcage and skull to be the crumple zones? I'd rather be in a car that's designed to die by absorbing that energy for me. What you need is a car. Selling the truck might not be a good idea, but using it to lug nothing but yourself 40 miles a day is wrong.

As Jon Stewart once said, "Hey! That can tow the boat I don't own up the mountain I don't live near!"
