This is actually pretty
And TBH the moving cars/ticket patrol/she can't get out of the driveway stories? I got zero problem with her replaying those on the reg.
There is a middle ground in there somewhere between a bunch of street parked jalopies and just dailying a Ram. I convinced the wife to get a car I wanted in the
and it does "family" duty so I can have something fun and do track stuff. She really had zero issues with me having the BMW and Corvette, but it was actually really annoying to always have to move cars around. I think there are a lot of seasons in life and in my current, having just one car each makes sense, but I will surely do the two thing again. I don't know that I'd ever really want more than two, it's a lot of work.
These guys I see at NASA events with the huge car hauler/campers and F250s and full on race cars are fucking crazy, unless I was retired and rich, I can't imagine wanting to deal with all of that. But a fun/weekend/track toy + a decent daily? Absolutely.
I wish we didn't use the fucking pickup so much, then I'd do what you did and just get something fun and let the JL do the all-around duty. I tried to convince
to swap the JL for a JT in the exact same spec, but she said the JT is too long and hard to park. Admittedly, the JL is a lot more maneuverable. I was also too effective at convincing her that full size trucks are too big, so she doesn't want one of those either. In hindsight, I should have pushed her into the Ram when she was considering it last year...but I wanted her to drive everything and she fell in love with the JL as soon as she drove it.
I actually like having only one car for myself. It's easier to keep track of and stay excited about. Splitting time between multiple vehicles can end up being more hassle than it's worth. I miss the C5 a little, but overall am glad to only have one vehicle, but I can't really drive the C5 in multiple feet of snow, so that's not an only car option.
I should buy Johnny's STI...that thing would be so perfect for my needs as an only fun car up here. I guess I could buy a utility trailer and store it somewhere on the property and use that for truck work with the JL. I just hate storing trailers and already have to figure out what to do with the glamper.
