Not to mention the fact that seals dry up if they are not "oiled" up every now and again. The exhaust will rot out faster with the moisture just sitting in it, etc. etc. etc.

How are you saving money?? Two vehicles to maintain, insure, inspect, plus a payment or possibly two, or if you have the cash a payment and taking money out of investment accounts??? Yea, saving money there!!

The hardest thing on most machinery is to sit idle.

Instead of getting a third vehicle. Why don't you drive the truck to work 3 days aweek and then drive the van 2 days. That way both vehicles get run good and they both will last longer.

Don't worry, I'm not going to let the truck sit around, it'll get driven plenty, just want to make sure I'm taking care of it and this is just the situation that I'm in, not a big deal.
