    Trying to buy a 3rd vehicle right now actually. I hate facebook. No one responds, and good vehicles get sold in like 30 minutes. Someone on R3V sell me a pickup please. I'll drive anywhere in the country for a decent small manual 1990s-2000s small pickup that's reliable and isn't rusted to shit.

        Whats the right number? 3? 4? ... We're not like MrBurgundy , the type to have ~12 cars, all red.
        Nope, only 2 of 'ours' are red, the rest are all different colors... all the same would be weird...
        well, except the E30s, which are all light metallic blue... and that's ok.

          Haha my strategy for years!

          Now that I've thinned the herd, I'm going to need another backup daily. Relying on my '93 Grand Marquis at the moment. Probably will look in the spring if I have enough saved up.

          Thinking about a '70s land barge.

              Not even an exaggeration, it's very frustrating.

                  the VAG guys like the Porsche over the BMW
                  Hey TCL, I was hoping to find some neutral ground so I decided to bring the topic here to get feedback from you all. The 2-car solution has been something car guys (and gals) have long been chasing, or at least pretending to. I've had various 2-car solutions but for one reason or another that...

                    Sell E30 + Jetta, get nicer DD, and pick between the Elan/911. Also, I don't know why your wife cares what your DD is unless she's in it/using it a bunch. Wife is getting too much say over your car choices. Also, I would suggest a DD that can just get maintenance, focus all the mod money/time/energy into the fun car.

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                      of course they like the porsche more lol

                      vw guys are too ratty to understand the e30

                      they would rather drive an mk3 jetta that's 4 different colors and sounds worse than a honda doing a 19 second quarter mile down the road

                        Also if you think about it, the Elan is like half a car, and shouldn't count as a whole car. so just keep Elan + 911.

                          So the E30 community also suggests selling the E30

                          Mainly because the DD is the vehicle that will be driving the children around... The Jetta basically just gets maintenance, I mainly do 2 'jobs' annually on it which is an Oil Change and whatever minor annoyance I have been ignoring that cropped up since the last oil change.

                            I bet you're gonna end up liking the e30 more than the 911 and elan

                            sell both of those and keep the jetta

                            and stop going thru cars lol

                                Jetta has somehow been around longer than most other cars!... and the E30 was predicted to be gone in a few months and is well into year #2...

                                The other ones, we'll see...
