For me having the 2 cars is fine but I soo miss driving manual. This is the first time where both my cars are auto because in the past I had at least on MT car. So for those of you that have multiple vehicles, say 3 or more, are you fine with it? Wish you had only 2? wish you had more?
I'm at a point where I'd like to get a manual but don't really feel like selling the cars I own now. IF I did it would be something relatively inexpensive(really missed my first manual '95 GSR, such a fun ride).
Any comments is appreciated. Thanks.
We have four cars. Parts are no real problem. Two oil filters cover the four cars, so that makes stocking them easy. All of them spec 5W30 or 10W30, so oil isn't a problem. Three car garage and the leaker parks on the street, no problem there.
I have an oil change a month with the fleet. Seems there is always something that needs attention, but that's what happens when you have four drivers.
I'd like another car. One is going off the college this fall, so we'll be down to three cars and drivers for the most part. Will probably buy another car for the other teen next spring as she'll be off to college next fall. The 226K mile Camry will go into reserve beater status in case one of the other cars is in the shop.
We'll probably try to find another Vibe/Matrix, Prizm/Corolla or Camry for her.
