The kids go with my wife in her new Toyota Highlander most days and I only pick them up or drop them off maybe once or twice a week at the most. We are moving next week so that trip for me will only be a few km down the road through town now too with all the rest of the driving mainly just being me by myself on my work commute each day.

All fair points mate good on ya
I just can't buy something to keep it in the shed.

Yea mate definitely know what you mean. I’ve been running it for coming on two years now and it’s just at the point where I feel bad every day wasting its life with just crappy work routine rather then preserving it for what it’s there for - the hunting trips and towing dirtbikes and boats etc. Had it for 21 months now and i’m about to hit 60,000km. Spent all the coin on a big nice off-road kitted out wagon and most of its km have just been driving to and through Palmy every day.

Kind of just a long term plan to help look after the investment I guess. Plus the benefits of cheaper running during the week will definitely be helpful.
