Emotional support truck vs. Sports car

I mean, a Miata is a good car, but a hatchback seats a family and gets the groceries.

Hatchback gang rise up

I traded my minivan in for a civic hatchback. It easily does 99.99% of what I need a vehicle to do. For that last 0.01% of the time I rent a truck for $50. I save money and my car fits in the garage.

Exactly! I live in the suburbs, where every driveway seems to have a massive full size truck (because they barely fit in the garage)--and also, where I am 15 minutes away from at least 3 places where you can rent a pickup for like 5% of the monthly payment on one of those beasts.
