Went camping this week. Left my Prius behind, took my girlfriend's 4x4 up the forest service road to the campground ... found 3 Prius there ahead of me.
We need less car than we think we do.

Full disclosure: I drive my daughter to Montessori school every morning in Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
That was funny, I cussed for the next few miles.
That said, I generally find myself having to move something big once a week during the summer months for landscaping, remodelling, maintenance, play, etc, and those are the times when I find my pickup to be indispensable.
Maybe when relayrides is more ubiquitous, I'll rethink the truck, but right now it's a luxury at about $17k.
UHaul is always an option, too.
