I have an 07 Cayman S. It does not make financial sense, but it is oh so fun to drive!
I think we have come full circle in this thread.
This whole discussion of a 3rd vehicle is really an extension of the price we pay to RV.
RV'ing in many cases does not make sound financial sense, but it is lots of fun to escape the rat race and create memories.

Good discussion but this is a very subjective topic. Everyone commute is different. Everyones lifestyle is different. Everyones finances are different.
Do you buy a 40K-60K tow vehicle so you can park it vs. driving it.
Do you ride around in a small commuter car vs. a large roomy truck.
Do you want a vehicle you actually enjoy being in vs. driving a vehicle that is less enjoyable/comfortable but provides savings.
WE all have different perspectives. I did not invest in my truck to park it, however I don't have a long commute.
I understand there is a tipping point were savings can be had via a commuter car. That savings can be real or imagined. The tipping point is different for each individual.

The thing that stops me from doing this is the cost of insurance. With two teenagers at home, it costs more than the car and fuel.
