I currently own 2 cars, Jekyll and Hyde.
One a sensible, practical, economical diesel estate with an automatic transmission, and the other a fun, loud, Ruckus, great handling Sports hatchback with a manual transmission.
Definitely keeping the Volkswagen diesel especially with these high fuel prices, not sure about the Hyundai.

Daily driving a Civic Type R and a C8 on the weekends now. I will be replacing one of them in January when the Emira is supposed to be here. Both are a lot of fun!
Similar problem. Will probably keep the C8 and unload a Ferrari 430 because my Corvette club is a fun group.

Careful, I had a 2016 STi (with the ej25, obviously)... went boom at 39k, completely stock, on cruise control... $18k for parts, covered completely by the warranty. Fixed incorrectly by my dealer, took it straight back. Picked it up again, parked it in my driveway, and didn't touch it til it was sold! Subaru of America fought me every step of the way for 3 months and treated my like garbage.

I was the second owner starting at 17k miles, so I can't speak to what the person before me treated it like, but I did full synth every 3500-4000 miles religiously (thank god or my warranty would have been denied). I think I just ended up being unlucky with the car, but ended up making money in the end because I sold it with a pristine body, brand new engine, turbo, intercooler, lines, etc. Loved the car while I had it though, a tank in the snow!

In response, and 'O2 AP1 S2000 and a '22 Honda Monkey. I may sell both, reluctantly, depending on how long my daily Corolla holds up (282K miles).

I will get the Emira no matter what, even if I have to wait 5 years due to supply chain issues! 😂

The M3s and an E82 135. One has to go. I think it will be the F80. Unless I can convince wife to keep four cars...

4 cars lol. We’re boat shopping and I told my wife when the bottom hits in 24 months we’ll be able to get a boat at a big discount. I told her if we do that and I put off the Emira I get to keep the TT, which will be worth $10k in 4 years. She’s a 1 car for 1 driver don’t clutter the driveway girl. If we do this the Emira will go from DD to track car:cool:
