I do most of my trips by bicycle obviously, but for anything requires hauling lots of shit or people I own like a 30 year old station wagon. It seems to be on its way out so I looked for a newer one and they either all suck or seem so clapped out I might aswell try to keep this baby going. Is that really the only options? Like I look at reasonably priced SUV and sure it seats five but the amount of cargo space available I might aswell buy 2 compacts and rip the seats out of one or whatever.

Also bonus questions what the fuck, does nobody use their cars for anything but personal transport and maybe some groceries anymore?

Used mini van. Real construction workers know it's the only way to roll. More cargo space than a truck, better fuel exactly l economy, you can live out of it if you need to, they can tow, low deck height makes it easy to get stuff in and out, they're comfy and can seat 7-9 if you need to.

I use my car for long distance travel some times.
