Life and the pursuit of car happiness..

[AAPOQ]

Well everyone, I often feel like I always want something new to drive. I buy another car and quickly get bored with it. I'm never completely satisfied. I like driving something different all the time and it drives my wife bat ish cray cray.

Who else also feels the thirst is never quenched? I'm putting my legacy under the knife for the next couple of weeks, and I know I won't be completely happy or ever finished..

[Punkrampant]

I do, but then again I am sure that I do not use each vehicle to its fullest potential.

Hi, my name is crazymikey and I'm a caroholic.

40 cars in 11 years.

Had the SI for 6 months so far.... I still absolutely love it, BUT, I'm moving to Calgary next week and I'd really prefer an automatic in the city. However, my trade in value is half of what I owe on the car, so I'm going to be keeping this one around for a while for financial sanity.

[N9netwoAccord]

I used to, and then I bought a house, then I bought a white four door F150 (I always wanted a white four door truck) tinted my front windows (regardless of it being illegal) and I have not been happier ever since getting out of a lowered Honda.

[bigpoppa694lyfe]

Can't say that I've ever been satisfied... But i usually get to the point where Im content. But then again... Im broke and have a kid now so my automotive side has been put on hold.

I just want something from this decade, or at least the previous one, with working A/C. Even when your car does look decently good, you sometimes want to shed the "ricer/fastnfurious" misnomer.

I think it's even harder when you sell cars that come with all these features and technology; only to "return to the stone age" and drive home.

I partially quenched my thirst with the CTS-V... though it needs some work that I don't feel like doing, and it SUCKS on gas!
The CB7 is almost road-worthy again, and it's a good mix of fun and efficient.
The Fit is fantastic on gas and kinda fun to drive, so it's nice to be able to floor it without really feeling it at the pump! (ok, you don't feel it at all anywhere... but whatever... )

I'm still craving a Lotus Elise, an NSX, XLR-V, STS-V, and a new CTS-V (unsure which I'd choose... I want one of each!), an automatic LSx swapped 80s Jaguar XJ, an old Suburban, an RX7 (I love each model...), a Factory Five Racing 33 Hot Rod kit car... and at least a dozen others from day to day.

[Dy2*STR33T-KING]

I'm the exact same way. I get bored too quickly. I don't know what it is, I Guess you can say I have automotive A.D.D I mean I go from one to the other like girls change clothes. I've had 35 now over the last 9 years and I know I don't get the most out of them but it's so much fun to get a new one! I just bought a new cb two months ago, sold one yesterday and I'm getting another vehicle within the month.

I can't really explain why or how it works but all I know is I'm addicted to them. I want to drive EVERYTHING. I can't say kids have slowed me down because I have 3 kids and take care of them all BUT every penny after bills, kids and woman are happy goes right into my cars.

At this rate I'm going to retire with having owned and modded 100+ cars and retire broke with my kids taking care of my next tune up lol. Sad but true

Oh, is that all?

[deevergote]

...the short list.

[wed3k]

you gotta find something that you love not like. for me its my corrado. love/hate relationship as long as you have the time for it. mine's a 6 month out of the year type car.

[AAPOQ]

I do, but then again I am sure that I do not use each vehicle to its fullest potential.

It's definitely not about that
it's about havin fun while you can!

Well, I already knew you had a problem

I used to, and then I bought a house, then I bought a white four door F150 (I always wanted a white four door truck) tinted my front windows (regardless of it being illegal) and I have not been happier ever since getting out of a lowered Honda.

I here ya, I love F150s. My first vehicle was an 86' F150. I miss that truck.

Can't say that I've ever been satisfied... But i usually get to the point where Im content. But then again... Im broke and have a kid now so my automotive side has been put on hold.

I haven't taken the plunge into father hood yet, thankfully! I can still afford fun.

I just want something from this decade, or at least the previous one, with working A/C. Even when your car does look decently good, you sometimes want to shed the "ricer/fastnfurious" misnomer.

I think it's even harder when you sell cars that come with all these features and technology; only to "return to the stone age" and drive home.

I know what you mean. The "stone age" has some great cars, BUT a/c and power windows are even greater.

I partially quenched my thirst with the CTS-V... though it needs some work that I don't feel like doing, and it SUCKS on gas!

Out of all car choices NSX seems like a happy obtainable choice(or an S2000). impractical and beautiful and won't cost 100 grand
I won't lie though, I miss my CB7

I have a lot of toys myself, but no kids makes that possible. I will admit, I'm just an overgrown child myself
Although even if I have kids I'll still want to go real fast

Oh, is that all?

No, it's never enough...

I found my love and its essentially just 3 cars.

CRX
Prelude
Accord

With them I fulfill my need of a:

2, 4 or 5 seater
Convertible, sunroof or solid roof
2 or all wheel steer
Roadster, Coupe or Sedan
etc etc etc

All while remaining practical in economy, reliability, parts availability, simplicity in maintenance, no repayments ,low to nil depreciation etc etc etc

At an early age having bought 3 x Third Gen Preludes in a row (when I could have bought myself a brand new car) to my friends amazement and bewildered family that it is the car that I desire and no matter how old it was then (and getting older) my feelings remain the same if not more.

Now having bought multiples of the same models I have expanded with 2 more but essentially just to 3 models.

Give me a newer BMW or Mercedes or Audi and they will definitely be parked on the street (or behind my Honda as the first line of defence against stealing away my Honda's) while my Honda's remain under cover and closest to my person, I kid you not.
