God I hate the moving argument, the once a year thing. Yeah once a year I need something large from Home Depot. They have trucks I can rent literally there on site, or I go to the uhaul and rent one for $30 for the entire day. That's not "manly" though to them
Yeah, given that it's around a hundred bucks (at best) a month for a pickup, and I can rent a pickup from a big box store for 20 bucks...the math works out to do that as often as weekly and still save money, considering registration/tag/maintenance. That's considering that my wife and I have one car, and one motorcycle: the differential in going from a car to a truck isn't as egregious as motorcycle or no second car, of course.
Also, it's always fun to get a huge haul of materials with my motorcycle gear on, seeing folks clearly wonder if I've thought through my decisions.
Right? And moving in a truck sucks. A minivan or full-sized van are way better. My grandma used to have a GMC Safari and that shit was awesome for moving. It could actually take an amount of stuff, was clean inside, AND it could be used easily while it was raining(and locked).
Another old coworker had a racebike and he literally made parts for MotoGP race teams and he had a Mercedes Metris van. Nice and low and easy to get bikes in and out of. Two other coworkers went to the track once and sold their Mazda 3 hatch and whatever Sedan to buy F150s and it was so funny watching them try to get a Ninja 250 out of the super high bed one day.
And then another coworker at my last job was all proud of hauling some dirt but my dad’s STi can do that just fine so…
