I have an 2001 GMC 2500 work truck that only gets driven a couple thousand miles per year. Being my third vehicle my insurance company gives me a discount if driven less than 7500 miles per year. Being an older truck only worth $3000 I only carry liability insurance. So my old truck costs me about $300 per year for license and insurance. My main daily driver is a smaller car that gets 35mpg. Maintenance on the small car is cheap compared to a pickup. Maintenance items like tires, batteries, brakes, etc cost 1.5 to 2 times more for the pickup. My pickup lives in my shed and I don't use it much in winter so doesn't see salt. It will last decades with basic maintenance. The daily runner car gets replaced every 10 to 12 years and when it gets replaced it cost half of a pickup. So for me it is a no brainer to have the extra vehicle. Almost every cost for a small car from initial purchase to fuel cost to maintenance is about half of what a pickup costs.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
