Unfortunately carpool isn't going anywhere for at least three years. I drop off, someone else picks up. I love the idea of something cheap to drop kids off, and keeping the camper on the truck full-time, that is until the truck is needed. Maybe it'll last me a while longer not driving it daily anymore too.
Sounds like you made your decision. My CC used to be a daily driver, since I quit driving it every day (when diesel went over $2/gal.), I've put less than 25k miles on it, my commuter on the other hand, has gotten over 100k miles; in my case, I was definitely dollars ahead by
not driving the vehicle I already had, both in fuel costs; and everything else that would have needed to be done to the truck (as it is, it's got 200k miles).
Cheap commuter cars, especially something like a minivan are a dime a dozen.
