Current automotive stable/collection/pile of parts- Would you re-up?

Title says it. What cars that you currently have would you ditch, and which ones would you get again, and why? Assume whatever happens (crash, wear out, rust out) you have the option of something else, or the same exact car again, atom for atom, in exactly the same shape it was the day you got it (used or new) for roughly the same price (make allowances for inflation). Once you opt to sell it/get something else you don't have the choice to go back. When you 're-up' you also lose all the extra stuff you got/made for the last copy, so no pulling the transmission from a 323 GTX and pushing the old one off a cliff 5 times in a row.

I'd re-up everything, I'd probably drive them all more, too. Except SWMBO's leased focus. The way we're talking, a focus might not be sufficiently 'family sized' within the next few years.

-So far I got 10 years on my van (1987 E-150) since i got it and it's now getting body rot that makes me cry. i could get another 10 years out of it and be happy, maybe stop the rust next time. or just drive the wheels off it again and again. It's been extremely useful and reliable, lots of great memories. Both proms, all of college, even childhood road trips since it used to be my parents' van.

-My RX8 is 6 years old, it's still low mileage but i don't plan to get rid of it. ever.

-The 323 GTX would see WAY more miles if i knew i could get another one with a working transmission whenever i needed it. It might see a lot more winter hoonage (of which it currently sees none) if i wasn't afraid of loosing it to rust.

How about you?

i have zero plans to get rid of my belair, chevelle, corvette, impala ss, or 240z. if i had to do it all over i might have sold the chevelle as a decent driver before i ripped the vinyl top off knowing i would find hidden carnage and tried to get a rust free car to work from, but i'm stuck with it now. the avalanche, i love but if i had to do it again i might consider a crew cab 2500 or 3500 instead, because i feel like if i had the beef of a 4L80 and 14 bolt to begin with i would not have had to upgrade the blown up rear axle to a 14 bolt and not be as paranoid towing with my 4L60.

the biggest problem with the vette was i took a perfect running driving car and screwed it up trying to get more power. now i'm stuck with a project instead of a solid driving stock vette.

The wagon stays regardless. It would be damn near impossible to find another as solid as it is for what i paid. Dailys i tend to ditch often and a small single car garage in town means only one project since the wagon doesnt see winters!

Wife's flex - I'd re-up again. She loves it.

My mazda6 - it has been a great car to me, but I'm ready for something new. Really want to get a hold of a FoST

My foxbody - huge amount of sentimental attachment, but if I could get the right $$ for it and replace it with an 11-up 5.0 mustang, I'd do it

TSX Sportwagon. A keeper. Fun to drive, versatile, and wife loves it. 2004 s2000. Bought new. Will probably never sell and have no regrets.

I hate to say it.. but I really really like my Disco.. even if it does owe me several thousand dollars in usage

The (primary) Fairmont: I've already proven that I'd do that all over again, because, after I tore the swaybar mount out of the front subframe autocrossing, I got another one and started over.

The secondary Fairmont: That one could go either way, but for a grand, who can really walk away from a solid, driving 2-door sedan?

Fairmonts in general: 26 years ago, when my mom (a car salesperson) found my first Fairmont, I bought it for the 302/4-speed, and regretted it for years. It was plain, and ugly, and got no respect. But, now that I'm 25 years clear of high school, I'm really happy to have a car that not a lot of people have, and do what very few others do with one. Guys autocross and track Mustangs all day, every day, but there are, like, five that do it with a Fairmont.

The '96 F-150: Man, that thing was in great shape when I got it 5 years ago, but I really shoulda looked harder, and got a 351 instead of a 302. It doesn't tow so great.

The 2001 Dodge B2500 van... I bet I could do better, but... It's taken the band's equipment to many shows, hauled tons of home improvement stuff, and three weeks ago I drove it to north-central Oregon and slept next to the Aprilia before a track day. It's so useful. Until I'm ready to make a significantly larger investment in my van, it stays as-is.

The 2002: Apart from starting to think that they might be so valuable that I'd be stupid to cut mine up to build it the way I want, what can I do? I love these things.

The Ranchero: Well... It was a heck of a deal, and hopefully the mess I find inside the quarter panels is recoverable. The "flares" (the outer 3" of VW bug fenders) involved cutting away most of the inner fenders. I only hope the previous owner didn't drive it in the rain much.

The 535i: I really, really like this car, and I really don't want it to go away. That said, I bought it so we'd have something to drive out of town during the Leaf lease. As much as I like it, it'll always be too big and heavy for my personal autocross/driver, and it'll never get the kind of mpg that'd make the other half of the household happy as a daily, no matter how solid a driver I make it. It's going to have to go.

The Leaf: I'm glad we tried it. It necessitated a 30-year-old BMW as a supplement. We should've been two years into a TDI Sportwagen right now, and wondering how VW was going to fix our car. We'll try to make it to a dealership tomorrow to start working down the list of replacements...

The Aprilia RSV1000R: Is fracking awesome. 143hp, 417lbs. I'm cancelling my insurance and just taking it to track days. I'm out to the edges of the tires, but still working on getting a knee down. But this bike is awesome.

'05 S197, built from stock. CAI, BAMA tune, Hurst shifter, Pypes axle backs. 1" suspension drop w/ D-Specs and Steeda Sport springs, tubular control arms, 255 Nittos on AMR wheels etc. Absolutely love it but only put 800 miles on it last year. I love the build but it must go now... 335i is my new love.

'14 Silverado LTZ, rather drive this than any truck I ever had, it berkeleying spoils me. I'm new every two. See what kinda deal I find in '16.... maybe Denali.

335i coupe, it's a keeper till the next best one comes along. I'm a car slut like that.

Love/hate relationship with my '05 Scion xB - that's why I'm selling it.

Perfect car for 80% of my driving, which is in town. Decent driving car, great gas mileage, tremendous interior room.

Road trips make me hate it. Box shape means I get blown all over the highway. 4000 rpm at 80 mph drives me insane with the droning. The only car I've ever owned that gets worse mpg on the highway than it does around town. Since I have more & further road trips planned, it's time for something more suitable for the highway.

'15 MX-5: love it. Hard to beat the early evening drives home after work. Plus, with the coasts, canyons, and dry, moderate weather, few places are better for a convertible than Southern California. As a bonus, the Miata's trunk gets very warm. Great for taking a pizza home!

SVT Focus: plan to sell sometime this year. Don't plan to replace it.

911, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. We'll have this car forever.
RX-7, I'd sell it tomorrow if I had the motivation. I like the idea of a Mod rallycross car, but I hate towing and hate having the crap beat out of me and getting cooked when I drive. I'm soft.
Civic, I'm torn. It's very good but I don't love it. Probably because I'm soft and it's still a bit too hard core for me to like. If someone offered me what I paid I'd let it go tomorrow.
Old Ford Wagon, I keep thinking someday when ai actually put it back together I'll be happy about it again. It's super cool and I love driving it. I hate that I took it apart. That was s bad idea.
CTS-V Wagon, best car I've owned. Did One Lap of America in it. Love it, but I'm not sure if it fits in long term. We'll see.
FJ Cruiser, absolutely wonderful, would replace with another one exactly like it (but probably not blue) if something happened to it. This and the Porsche are the core of the forever fleet.
2007 Silverado, it's been a great truck but we've really outgrown it and I need to get a van or an 8 passenger something and a beater truck to replace it. I keep putting it off because the damn thing just works so well even though I have no real love for it at all.

I bought a second Chevy Astro after my son crashed the first one. It was a different colour, but everything else was the same. I'd get another used NB Miata in a heartbeat,too. My wife is always lamenting that Toyota stopped making the 1st generation Scion xB. She wants another.

SWMBO's Fit Sport - it's been an absolutely perfect driving utensil(I don't think it's large enough to qualify as an appliance ). However, in general I prefer to try new cars, though honestly there have been very few I would not want to own again(Protege, Villager, Sebring).

I can't think of anything I would avoid from my past, but the only thing that calls to me would be the '93(?) F-150. Ex-cab, 4x4, 300/6, but go short bed, no rust, and maybe auto. Or use that experience towards a bronco.

Speaking from both sides of my mouth on this one... my wife's 9-5 2.3 has been pretty much bulletproof, but we just replaced it with an LS430 (anybody in Ohio looking for a big car for the winter? already has snows mounted and heated leather seats)

My 9-3 wagon has also been great. If it got crushed by a tree today, I'd try to find another just like it (2.0T with auto)

I don't think I'd do the 9-3 vert again. It was a fine DD, but as as 2nd or 5th car its too practical and not enough fun.

Miatas: after turning my street car into a race car, i bought another street car. If it fell in a sink hole to middle earth, I would just update/upgrade to an MX5

The fleet:

The El Camino was my first car and first project with dad. Had it since I was 14 and it's pretty much an heirloom to me.

The Saturn came next. It's been a good little car and I got a great (shady) deal on it. For the money it's more fun than a Corolla or Civic. Honestly don't know if I would re-up. I would have rather spent less on a slightly older and more common car.

The Roadmaster has yet to prove it's worth. It's only a $300 car, so that shouldn't be hard.

I would absolutely replace the Fiat with an identical car. In two years and 68,000 miles it has been trouble free except for one wheel bearing which I can excuse since The Wife bent two wheels on that corner on snow filled potholes. When The Wife got cleared to drive again she wanted a toy but with money being tight she needed something she could drive every on a longish commute and do well in snow. She fell in love with this silly little car and still enjoys having it. I have toyed with the idea of buying some trim bits I think it may need down the line that may be hard to get because I can see her keeping it forever and having to refresh it in the future.

The Buick is a far nicer car than I thought I would buy for myself and has really grown on me but if something happened to it I don't know that I would replace it.

My Monte Carlo isn't going anywhere. It was my first car and I wanted one since I was a kid so I am still a bit attached to it. I just hope to one day get it running again and out of the garage.

I'd re-up on the wrecked Cherokee sitting in my driveway. Would not re-up on the other one, despite it being just about perfect for a loooong time.

I'd re-up on the 2000 SE Miata. And the 93 Miata.

And that's it.

Id keep em all. Sure they have issues but they are irreplaceable to me. Well except the beetle. I wanna get rid of it soon. Need money for the track car.

I have two Accord V6 sedans (2010 and 2014). I love them both and would replace either with the same.

I've had my Tacoma for 10 years. It has 115k miles and a new frame. There is no other truck that I really want or need.

The 911: I'd never find another one this good.

The Cayman S: I absolutely love it, but the next one will have a PDK.

The Miata: I've had three and I'm over it. I'll keep it for Wintercrossing and maybe ice racing because it's here and it's the Easy Button for now, but it's going to be sold in the Spring. It will be replaced by...something else.

2008 BMW 135i has been maintenance intensive but fun and it's nice to drive a reasonably rare car. However, for autocross purposes I probably would have had more fun for the money from an E46 M3 and the maintenance probably would have been similar.

2011 Mazda2 was bought under circumstances where I was about to be bed ridden for a few months and my girlfriend (now SWMBO) didn't have a car she could drive. Cars in consideration at the time were the 2 and the Fiesta. She wanted a Fiat, but they were too expensive for what you got. At the time I had a bit of buyers remorse wishing I had bought the Fiesta, but now with all the problems people are having with dual-clutch base Fiestas, I'm glad I went with the 2, even though it needed brakes and rear shocks after only 25k miles.

No plans to get rid of anything. The 96 Impala SS is getting old and falling apart. It is worthy of a resto and I likely will someday, but right now it is a beater/DD. If I sold it, I would love to have another one in better shape, but then I would be missing a DD. If I had to replace it, I would likely get a 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 truck; 3/4 ton because I do tow up to 10k occasionally and I always have to borrow dad's truck: I would get a truck because I do renovations from time to time as well as buy car parts like engines all the time and it would be nice to have a bed: I would get a diesel because it puts more money in my pocket, is generally more reliable, and makes more torque: and 4x4 because I do have a few hunting camps where I go that often require it to access.

The 67 LeMans will have to be pried from my cold dead hands. There isn't a day goes by that I don't want to hug Duke profusely for that car.

My 99 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad is a perfect bike for me; full hard bags and trunk for long trips, reliable overall bike, looks good, comfy. If it wears out, I would very strongly consider getting another one exactly like it.

Past cars:

Dodge Dakota. The few months that I had with that truck were torture and I will never own one again. If one were gifted to me, I would likely stuff a rag in the gas tank and light it just to watch it burn.

73 Impala S/W. In a heartbeat. I probably wouldn't actively seek one again; I would probably look for a Hearse instead, but it was a great car.

87 E30 cabrio. Also in a heartbeat. Loved that car.

62 Caddy SDV. Yeah. I'd do it.

I think I'm pretty set right now. I really like my G37 as a DD. Sporty enough to keep me interested with really good comfort for the 5-6 hour trips I take once a month.

My wife's 328I isn't going anywhere till it's way too expensive to fix. Since we still have 4 years of warranty left that isn't happening soon. She loves that car.

I am shopping for something to semi expedition portal/mountain biking support vehicle. The wife and I have gotten into trail running and mountain biking so we want something that can take us out to the cool spots in the inner mountain west. I'm thinking Xterra or 4 runner type vehicle.Really debating SUV and Bike rack or pickup.

Other than that, don't know. I'm hanging out till I figure out if I want to stay in Austin or move to the west full time. It took me some time to find the right car mix and I think I'm getting close.
