This is my perfect stable, TBH. I really doubt that a V6 Bromaro will satisfy my desires, regardless of 1LE.

The fun car should be the cheaper of your two cars. Sure, there's always the risk that it spontaneously ignites and burns itself to a crisp. But it's a car that's paid for, driven occasionally, and enjoyed. Carry roadside assistance on the insurance policy and
Your daily should be something that you can rely on 100% to get to work or wherever you go.

Yeah. Daily should be the newer/more reliable vehicle. Weekender can be the hackjob custom kit car that doesn't run right.Apex wrote:[user not found] wrote:

I also really REALLY don't understand people that buy a "winter beater" $500 beat ass Buick Lesabre running on 3 of 4 cylinders and rusted out.Apex wrote:Johnny_P wrote: Yeah. Daily should be the newer/more reliable vehicle. Weekender can be the hackjob custom kit car that doesn't run right.
Motherfucker if there is ever a time that I don't want a car to break down it's in the middle of a fucking snowstorm on an ice covered highway. JFC.

Yea, true. I'd like to drive the "fun car" more, but I guess if the DD is semi fun (as I'd consider a ZR2 to be), it would work out fine.[user not found] wrote:Apex wrote:

Good call on the roadside assistance, I'll add it when I put the insurance back on the car.
