Also a car guy. If there was decent public transport to work that got me there in a similar time to taking a car, I’d take the public transport.

I want my car to be for my enjoyment, as well as a tool to get to different places, but not as a tool that takes me to work

(using a car to get to work would still be fine if you worked in a more rural area with less public transport availability, but I also believe that pickup trucks shouldn’t be daily vehicles and would be much more useful on a rent-when-needed system)
