5.0 Mustang fun car, Corolla daily. Street parking. Sadly, it's come to the realization that the way the city is going, it's getting more and more difficult to do this. They're constantly making it a bigger pain to drive. Condos barely have any parking, so for myself to have 2 cars and my girlfriend her truck, it's hard to find a condo to accommodate that. But I can't bring myself to downsize to one car because the Mustang would suck to drive daily and I don't think I'd be happy in a WRX or something better yearround. |

Had three vehicles for the last 10 years. Luckily I have a house/driveway big enough for all 3. I don't look at the Mustang as a car, it's my toy. It's not feasible for any kind of practical use, so I don't really count it as a "vehicle" in the same way as our other two cars. Kinda feeling bad for the Speed 3 the last few months, now that I mostly walk to work it sits a lot. I drove it once, about 20km since last Tuesday. I haven't even cracked 100,000kms on the odo yet. My wife daily drives the Sonoma, she also drives the kid around. We're making it work with one of us often in the jumpseat, good thing driving distances in Victoria are super short. Wife knows how to drive standard but is out of practice, doesn't really like driving my car. Last time she took it out she let some smoke out of the clutch accidentally starting off in 3rd gear. I get a vehicle allowance through work, so I have no choice but to keep at least two usable vehicles. I'll have to make some decisions about upgrades soon. Want to buy a bigger truck, but can't decide if I want to sell the Speed 3 or the Sonoma. |
I remember having to google what a Sonoma zr2 was, 'lol noob' must be pretty reliable and also fun if you've kept it this long? |
I've had it about 5 years, bought it from my uncle who was the first owner so it's been kept in relatively good shape but it has it's 21 year old warts (AC doesn't work, Little bit of peeling paint, some cracking in the shitty interior plastics they used in those days) no rust through and mechanically it's a rock. Sounds not bad for a V6 either with edelbrock header system and Borla exhaust :D It's been used as a truck, lots of towing, hauling wood, dirt, gravel you name it. Better overall truck than 5 year newer the 3.0L 2WD Ranger Edge we had before it. |

Haha nope, no Hyundai! Pics!: http://www3.telus.net/bryster/Sonoma...825_185155.jpg http://www3.telus.net/bryster/Sonoma/IMG_0488.JPG |
Want to import a car and just use it on weekends with temps, store with storage insurance rest of time - what's my best option with storage? any places in Vancouver will let you store car w/o plates? |
No plates needed for storage insurance. Just has to be parked on private property. |
I want a low mileage grandpa driven 4.3 S10. Cheap and does everything I need. |
Anyone used one of those self storage places? Looks like some of them allow you to store cars |

Look into it first, and then decide whether it is worthwhile. |

So say if your annual insurance rate is pretty low already, the temporary permit costs add up pretty quickly. When you visit a broker, they can give you the different pricing options as well, for a one-day, two-day, and so on permit--slightly cheaper per day as you increase, so a two-day permit isn't double the cost of a one-day permit. When one of my cars is in storage, I typically drive it two or three days a month so the temporary operating permit is the cheaper option for me. |

Last year I drove my ITR just twice a month. It was cheaper to get temp permits. As soon as I hit three days it was cheaper to just get plates. |
4 vehicles. Two cars, two motorcycles. Single, living at home with parents lulz. :fullofwin: |

I'd guess Fliptuner and Sheridan will have the most cars on here. Not a day goes by I don't think about changing my car situation. I'm down to 9 + my bike. 6 of these are drivers that I juggle the insurance around on. I'd like to thin it out once I get my projects finished. The wife is just happy when we're together I'm not driving hers. |
7 cars for 4 people Track car, Daily car, Twin turbo car, Dad's car, Wife's car, Slow car, Drift car. |
I only have 1 car. 2 if you count my wife's (more practical) car. If I had multiple cars, I'll only want to drive the one that offers the best driving experience. Anything else would feel like a POS. I wouldn't be able to drive a shittier car on regular basis knowing I had something much better in the garage. But it works for my lifestyle since I don't race or go offroading to need dedicated cars beside my daily commuter. But it's also a big PITA to do maintenance on all of them if I had more cars. It's like having more children. It might be more rewarding, but just know it'll require more effort. |

I currently have a third generation Lexus ES300 XV20 in my garage for 2 weeks and I love having an automatic, comfy, practical, reliable daily driver. And it takes 87! I've been daily driving my Cayman S for almost a year now and it sucks to daily drive a sports car if I am just going to and from work and the weather is shitty or I hit bad traffic. The suspension is quite stiff, its very very impractical in terms of carrying stuff and people, its noisy and the controls require a lot of effort to operate. Of course the driving experience is second to none when it comes to fun. tldr: there's merit to having a beater and I am going to ask my uncle if he is selling the Lexus as it is their spare car or will find one for myself. |
Free street parking! That must be nice :D |
