I consider myself a car guy, but I want to drive because I want to, not because it's the only option.

    Also a car guy. If there was decent public transport to work that got me there in a similar time to taking a car, I'd take the public transport.

    I want my car to be for my enjoyment, as well as a tool to get to different places, but not as a tool that takes me to work

    (using a car to get to work would still be fine if you worked in a more rural area with less public transport availability, but I also believe that pickup trucks shouldn't be daily vehicles and would be much more useful on a rent-when-needed system)

    If I had to commute from a rural area I’d get a fun sports car and not a truck. That way I have a good excuse to miss work in bad weather, and more fun commuting in good weather.
