The Justy will not sit for too long. I only put 3,000 miles on the SVX last year, and I don't want to do many more than that this year. Eventually it'll be less than that.

Another thing to consider is fuel costs. I can drive to work for a week on one tank in either of the cars - but the Justy's tank is half the size and the fuel costs 20-30 cents less a gallon. It once cost me nearly $35 to fill the tank on the SVX - the Justy has never cost me more than $15.

I also enjoy activities that the SVX is not compatible with. Sure, I can fit the bike in the back of the SVX, with the seats down, but what to do about a muddy bike after the ride?

I'll probably drive the SVX to work a couple of times a week, at most, all summer long. But I really want to save this season's mileage for a big road trip Amber and I have planned...and a meet I might organize. Stay tuned.
