See to me, I've never understood the concept of a single vehicle. To me they are more like silverware: select the correct utensil for the meal at hand.

For instants: 1. Nice practical (and quiet) DD for work and long distant trips. 2. Winter backup beater, when you want to go blasting though the snow and not be concerned about wrecking a $30k+ plus vehicle. 3. Balls-to-the-walls enthusiast car. A limited usage performance only, zero compromises street driven rocket. 4. Spec class race car (typically not street legal).

There are of course more subcategories than this, but I would suggest a single car will force compromise.

Just one point of view though

Totally agree and that wasn't the plan when I first bought this car but I came to realize it the further along I got. The day after my loan is gone the Evo is likely to get caged.

Tachyon, we need to hang out more, that is exactly how I approach the car owning experience.

Being how we're both south of the river, we should. Grapevine says you've got a car lift
