Fess up: are you an automotive hoarder? (Eco-cars or not)

[19bonestock88]

I've got two myself, and my wife has one...

I've got a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline(1 of 1012), that is a project car
My daily driver is a 2007 Chevy Malibu, and it's my efficiency project, though I would rather a smaller car or 4 cyl truck as a daily

My wife drives a 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i base, CVT...

Wasn't sure if you meant car "brand" hoarder, but we have 3 G1 Insights in the family right now so yeah, maybe we are a family of Insight hoarders.

My son also had 3 Festivas at the same time, including my old car Black Widow

Hoarder? Yes. Cars? No. I would not know where to put another!

2000 Honda Civic HX (manual)
Gary Fisher mountain bike (missing part of the handlebars and keys)

The only place to park another vehicle would be in front of someone else's house (with a city permit) or in the dirt alley, behind a metal gate, and supposedly we cannot make copies of that key. I would not be comfortable parking a car anywhere I would not see daily. We have had people turn off our power and steal anything of value.

My current count is at 8 including motorcycles. But, its getting better haha. Soon the Metro will be on its way, and hopefully the Civic not too long after that.


2004 Toyota Prius
2004 Honda Civic
2000 Honda Insight
1999 Chevy Metro
1993 Toyota Tercel
1983 Honda CM400
1965 Honda S65
1951 Ford F1

Culling the herd!

The 2004 Prius sold just before I picked up that 2000 Metro last week.

The Swift GT parts car is currently advertised, and someone says they're coming for the engine. After that the bones will be picked over, and the shell scrapped.

I'll be down to 5 cars after that... less than my bicycle count! The goal is to be down to 4 before the snow flies (bye bye ForkenSwift shell). Then to 3 next summer when I sell the Echo.

It'll be an all Firefly/Metro fleet.

... for a while.

My name is Will and I used to be a hoarder. I had 6 cars at one point, but now I'm back down to one now that I've bestowed the CRXFi legacy unto Gasoline Fumes. I've lived through and made it back to 1-to-1. Moving to a place where stashing is more difficult helps to this end. I would probably have several cars if I had access to cheap storage.

Slightly on-topic question for a mod: Is there a way to transfer a car (read: member of the hoard fleet) from one user's EM garage to another user? (yes, I know there technically is, but can you do it?) Please move the CRXFi to Gasoline Fumes' garage.

We have the Prius C that we use for almost everything.
The FWD Ford Escape that we use very little.

However, I just found out that I will need AWD this winter..
Being a Texan, I HATE driving in snow and ice.
So I figured a FWD SUV was gonna last me for the rest of my life..
Because I was NEVER gonna drive in bad winter weather again!!
Yes, it's a 2009 with less than 9k miles on the odometer.

The type of AWD I'm looking is like this:
Used One-Owner 2014 Toyota RAV4 LE - Near Woburn MA - Woburn Toyota

So, should I keep the Escape? I'm really thinking about it.. My kid is always
borrowing it, when her BMW (325i ? X-Drive) needs another repair..
She kinda likes it. My wife likes it for driving her friends to the airport etc..
I know a trade-in offer will be less than $9,000..

Maybe I need summer and winter SUVs..?.

I will never admit it.

1976 Vogue motor home with 33k miles

7 or 8 motorcycles too.

Problem?
What problem?

(I'm actually going to cull the herd significantly this year. Really. No, really I am. )
