2010 Maxima Sport Pkg, wife currently 9400 miles
2011 370Z Sport Pkg, mine currently 1057 miles
2000 Prelude, mine currently 55,000 miles
1966 Chevelle SS396, mine summer cruiz, show etc.

wow, nice line up!

i use to have 4 cars too but with kids and stuff i couldn't use the cars enough individually so decided to run 3 cars.

for example my 8yr old G just turned 29K miles this week. my 2.5yr old 370Z has 8K miles. hardly enough deserved motoring time.

Thanks we have some of the same issues. I had thought about selling the Prelude to add something else but it has been a great car. We need to add a truck of some type. Its for those what if's around the house etc. I have been looking but the weather here in KC/KS has been so mild this year I have held back. I will need to do something soon. Maybe a clean looking beater type truck. If their is such a thing?

Yes. Have a couple of people at work buy just such a thing. I work in Olathe. One of them has a F150 with 120,000 which looks like it has 20,000 miles and runs like it also.

Yeah, but one thing to keep in mind is the underside of anything driving during the winter around here. This area is so bad about what they treat our roads with during the winter. A clean looking 120,000 mile plus year/ model used driver that has not had a treatment of undercoating etc. can easily be a clean looking rust bucket. I have been online of and on looking in areas of Texas & Oklahoma for a clean driver.

yah, i could really use a wagon or something sometimes. i go to my local music store to buy something for my instrument, i cant even carry it home in my G. or to homedepot... no go. can't even buy window blinds without measuring if i have enough space. gets old real quick.

so recently i just wait till the weekend and use my Fit. my wife uses the Fit during the week and she hardly uses on the weekends so it works out for us.
