good vehicles get sold in like 30 minutes.

Not even an exaggeration, it's very frustrating.

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.

so is it possible that the "2-car solution" is officially dead?

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.

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.

I tried to settle for a 2 car solution with my FD and my E34 but I am too attached to my E30 to get rid of it. I still hold out hope that I can restore it some day. Also the E34 pisses me off with the AC issues and impossible to diagnose SRS light.

Looks like Wifey is now insisting I get down to 2 cars. I tried MrBurgundy 's method of telling her to calm down because she was acting crazy ... did not work as described. would not recommend.

I am going to ask if this is an acceptable 2-car solution for a family that has 2 young kids. They both have back seats, so good, right?!?

Where does convincing your significant other to buy a project car fit into the mix?

You just have to start talking about the new project car as if you already have it. Then when you go to get it, she's like "well you have been talking about this for a while". It doesn't make her happier about it, but maybe less of a fight. If that doesn't work, try MrBurgundy's advice.

[Chilezen]

Might be easier to just start off by picking the right woman. Take your current model to the dealership and see if you can trade her in

[dice2012]

Wait wait wait, let me clarify: How do I convince her to buy HERSELF a project car (so I can drive it)

I don't have the time or money right now for a new personal project, though I think if I brought home another project in the future she would be hype (She loves 80s/90s japanese cars and getting into euro more now partly because of my influence)

[2mAn]

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission....

Just Buy It. Ask me how I know :)

I guess I should reveal the new car...

[MrBurgundy]

listen bro- listen to me

just buy it. When she gets mad, put your hands up and say, "CALM DOWN"

if that doesn't work hit her with the, "YOU'RE ACTING CRAZY"

that should diffuse the situation

[dice2012]

McGyver That broke too, now borrow the significant other's car."
