Something else not discussed previously is our infrastructure for insuring these beasts. I would have no problem having a pickup truck and a pair of economical vehicles.

However that means I would need insurance for three vehicles in a 2 person household even though the truck is driven 1000 miles a year or less.

A better system would be to insure the driver, not the vehicle, no matter what he/she drove. That way you can hop in from car to car and never worry about insurance.

In my case thats why one vehicle is a wasteful SUV while the other is a gas sipper, it's for that 1 time that I need to haul a show car to car show 200 miles away. BTW the show car has to be insured too even though its driven less than 500 miles a year. So you catch my drift?
