My grandfather's last vehicle purchase was a Chevy Colorado 4x4. It had to be 4x4 for the 1 day every 3 years it snows and sticks throughout the afternoon, so that his twice daily trips 12 miles round-trip to Sharis wouldn't be interrupted. It had to be a pickup because 5 years prior he was in the habit of throwing the garbage in the bed to take down to the trash container.

4x4 has never been engaged, and the bed has never been used. Now that he's dead, it gets driven once per day to Sharis for my grandmother. My grandmother that can't drive has a 1992 Caddy, and 3 Chevy pickups.
