Three years ago there were 2 daily drivers, one dually, and 3 antique cars in our stable. Money wasn't an issue, nor was the insurance or upkeep. Then I hit the 70 years old mark, and reality of the situation hit home, and it made no sense.

All three antique cars (55 Thunderbird, 54 MG TF Roadster, 90 300ZX) found new homes, and then I bought the 370z Roadster.

Now we're down to 4 vehicles, and I can see us losing the dually in 4 or 5 years when its too difficult to haul the RV, and then one of the daily drivers may go about the same time.

But they'll have to pry the stick shift of the Z from my dead hand when I go to that big safety deposit box in the sky.
LOL ... I've said the same thing with some past cars I've had. Yes, similar and I am 68 so maybe that is why the brain cells are overactive on this stuff. Logically I just need my 4x4 and a fast car ... the thing is I like both of the fast cars. So time will tell I guess. Thanks for your reply, it was just what I was looking for, a similar situation.

Oh funny at 67 I have the 370z and DD 2016 Miata MX-5 both stick shift.
Live in an apartment, which prevents me from buying anything else and I do look... Always keeping my eyes out on 84 Rabbit GTI, had one and loved it..

I was going to buy a black new 1984 Rabbit GTI, and changed my mind at the last minute for the Scirocco. I've also numerous Miatas ... 1993 Limited Edition, black with red leather interior only 1500 of them made. It's good to see I am not crazy.
