Why the hell would you commute in the truck vs the car? Is the Accord a shit box or something? Has it seen better days? Does it wreak of body odor? |

Because sportbikes are funner than scooters. But is the average SUV funner than the average car?

Bikes usually are purchased for recreational purposes. Cars and trucks typically aren't. ![]() They are bought because of their variety of uses to the owner. Are passenger cars more useful than trucks? No. More efficient at moving people? Yes. I will think of you the next time I pass a bus. |

I would guess that a greater % of the population would feel that the easily approachable nature of a scooter is more fun than a high strung sportbike. Also considering the best selling (or close to it) car over the past few years has been the Camry and would be a good candidate to represent the average car, I would say it doesn't take much to be more fun than the average car. Even more, the average car is a 4spd automatic 4cyclinder sedan. |

How a vehicle drives and handles is not what I'd call a "recreational purpose".......I call it one of the top priorities. Why spend a lot of money on any car or truck unless it's fun to drive? You spend a lot of time behind the wheel, and it's a waste unless you're getting something in return.

I actually had doochebag tell me that a car can be fun to drive if it has a nice radio and was comfortable to drive on the highway. |

The Accord is an '07 with a pleasant clean linen smell and no repairs needed. The only sign of wear is the typical-female-driver-damage (scratch down the side from running through a toll plaza ![]() I have been making the commute since I moved into our current place. My truck goes every day. I feel comfortable driving it, like the radio presets and don't bitch about fuel prices. Her Honda is a lease and is over the allotted mileage. |

I have a Ranger that I haul everything in. I haul the bikes when needed. I haul scrap metal for extra money, I've hauled in a ton between the truck and trailer with it. I'd like a bigger truck but no money for it. I'd really like a 4 door Ranger with at least a 6' bed, be able to haul more that way.
