Turbo Dodges.... I probably will buy another at some point.

Hmm of my current list:

1970 Triumph GT6.....well, it's been in the family since new and is so sexy, which are the only 2 reasons I put up with owning it. If it spontaneously combusted, I would not get another....nor any other classic British car.

e30 rallycross car - yeah, I'd get another in a second. Any e30. I love working on them and love driving them, even if they're not that fast, not that comfortable, and not that stylish.

e21 project car - If it burned to the ground tomorrow.....who knows. I haven't actually ever driven it, but everyone I've talked to says it's basically a more fun version of an e30, so that can't be bad.

08 v6 4Runner. I "would" get another, but I'd get the V8 for better towing. Though with 2 kids now I'd strongly consider getting a Sequoia instead for more interior space.

09 WRX. Meh....IDK. I like the car and it's been great. But after 5 years, it's still in great shape and drives like new. But it's like spending 5 years with anything....you get tired of it and something newer and better is available. I'd probably get a BRZ instead, especially if an STi version comes out with boost. I can't think of any other AWD car in my price range I would rather have, FWIW. I don't like the new WRX for 2014 as much though.

Mazda5. I'd buy another of these in a heartbeat.

Also, I had an '85 Subaru GL wagon and a '96 base Legacy Wagon. Either of those.

And, yes, what happened to the 2? I thought I was the only one who missed that...

Miata. I've had 3, and would like another someday

EF (88-91) Civic Si/CRX. Such a wonderful car in so many ways. There has been one in my family since 1988, and we just picked up an 89 Si as our next Lemons car, as the previous 91 Civic got too rusty to race safely.

Suburban 2500. Now that I have one, they really do seem like the perfect beast of burden for how I use it. I'd get another one in a heartbeat if this one were totaled, but it would be hard to find another with Quadrasteer.

I always say I won't buy another vw but after 4 of them they are still strangely compelling.

of course I will always buy more Miatas.

And the wrx still has me wanting another.

And then there are the mgs...

If I could buy a <40k mile 1980 corolla wagon I would. Same goes for a 1975 Opel Manta.

Short answer, yes.

My trouble with this "buy another" game is there always seems to be a cooler factory option version out there than I own. So I end up trying to get the better version of the car/truck I almost love. It's cost me a lot of money.

I've had 5 mustangs, four 80-86 ford trucks, three s10 blazers and many other duplicate vehicles. I've also owned a '97 Tahoe and a '97 Yukon at the same time.

To date my most favorites have been:

'97 2wd 4 door Tahoe LT, leather, 3.73 gears and posi. I only wish it had clamshell doors in the back versus the barn doors it had. that and less rattles, it rattled like crazy.

'86 2wd f250 reg cab 6.9 diesel, 4spd manual, 3.50 gear, with ac. absolutely perfect truck, couldn't make it better from the factory. 350,000 miles on Michigan roads finally got the best of it. 20 mpg daily driving it.

'02 2wd ranger 2wd reg cab, short bed, 2.3 duratec, 5 spd, cruise, ac, cloth split bench seats and rubber floors. This one I dd currently and may be my favorite truck.

Another one that was cool was the 2002 2wd 4 door ZQ8 blazer I made while I worked at a GM dealership. GM should've made this truck, they messed up by not doing it with all the parts on the shelf.

Also, my '92 accord 2door ex 5 spd factory sunroof car was way too cool to not mention and was a great dd.

With that said, my long answer is also yes.

The only one I actually did buy another of was the '95 M3. Sold my 65k low mile car in 2010 when I was in purge mode, couldn't get it out of my head and bought a 150k car in 2012.

Others:
'02 WRX- love the car, had it since new, and would consider strongly if the new ones were more wagon than hatchback.
69 MG Midget 4age blacktop swapped- love/hate the car, and not sure if I would buy another. A part of me keeps hoping I'll total it without personal bodily injury, because I know I'll never sell it (any takers?). A psychic drag sometimes, but I could say that is probably the truth with owning three old(er) vehicles, and not just the MG's fault.

Honda Fit: Sold it to buy a much cheaper DD corolla...which has less interior space, gets worse gas mileage, and is way less entertaining. Fail.

IS350: Possibly the perfect DD. Seats 4, definitely quick, 23mpg lifetime, though we've seen as high as 29 highway. 111,000 trouble free miles so far, though most of the valvetrain is new thanks to Lexus getting spooked by recalls.

Miata: Six so far, I predict I'll snap up the next cheap vvt NB I find to build an entertaining n/a track car.

I'd buy a newer model of RX8. I have on 04 and the issues that come with 04's are annoying but the car is a blast to drive and is the size I want for daily use.

I do like my Opel GT but honestly I wouldn't have bought it. Mine was handed down to me from my dad and the first owner was a friend of the family. Has family history so I won't get rid of it. Although I sometimes think it would be cool to get another GT body w/Miata suspension & brakes with either a rotary or Miata drivetrain. Basically a Miata with an Opel GT body.

Back before my daughter gave me back my 99 Miata, I thought about getting an NA already set up as a race car for track/autocross duty. But now I have the NB back for that.

I'd buy another na miata if something happen ed to mine. I'd buy another 996, and likey another rav4. I probably wouldn't buy another 318ti I'd likely get a 328 instead.

I don't think I'd build another dwarf car. It WS a lot of work and I'd rather build something different next. I suppose once I get to the point where I've finished a day of racing and its not broken, I might change my mind.

Starlet.
Wouldn't let the project stall out like last time.
Suspension, 4A, cage, profit.

I'll buck the trend, and say that I've no interest in a miata after this one.

I should add that I have done this before, two Miatas, two 911s, two Wranglers. The second Miata is the only one that I went out of my way to buy. The second 911 and second Jeep just kind of happened.

Mk5 Common Rail TDI Jetta i.e. '09-'10. Have made up my mind that my next car will be a twin garage mate to SWMBO's current '09 TDI Jetta, maybe in TDI Cup trim.

Not automotive but I'm on my 4th or 5th pair of the 1st generation of Merrell Chameleon II Stretch shoes. They're my favorite every-day shoe, sadly they changed the design a couple years ago, I don't like them as much and the 1st gens are hard to find. The pair I'm currently wearing were new waiting in the closet for almost 2 years before I finally justified the pair I had been wearing were suited for "work shoe" duty and the previous "work" shoes were ready to be retired. I don't know what I'm going to do when these are finished?

I'd probably buy another if anything happened to the Manic Miata. Probably a stock one, so I could transfer all the good parts of this one, and none of the bad. Assuming I still had the hulk.

I'd buy another TSX for my wife in a heartbeat. I doubt I could convince her to get a wagon. The styling of the new gens doesn't hold a candle to the original, but it's growing on me.

I would love to own another TR6, Lucas and all. It was so cool to drive...

I see no reason to not keep the 96(-00) civic going as the platform can deliver a very pure driving experience (no abs, great steering, very compliant real world eating suspension, snikety transmission, its light, gets really good mileage whilst being thrashed, is infinitely reconfigurable, and the go fast parts are worth more than the shell and the shells are cheap. And the go fast parts are cheap too!

Other than than, I want to try new things...

Would not: '89 Nissan sentra, '96 Chevy cavalier, '95 Chevy Camaro, '94 Chrysler LHS.

Undecided: '96 Miata track rat, need more time on track to decide.

Would: '08 Chevy cobalt xfe, it's a boring appliance but was cheap, has a stick shift, and gets 40+ mpg no matter what and 50+ mpg when trying.

'05 Chevy Malibu, cheap family sedan that hasn't given any problems in 150k+ miles, gets 30+ mpg and has taken regular abuse running around VIR.

'02 Honda S2000, cause torque is overrated.

'73 Plymouth Scamp, my first car, hated it at the time but learned a lot wrenching on it as it broke down every other month.

Wow, you must be my doppelganger. Definitely my NA Miata but it MUST be Laguna Blue which makes it a little tougher.

Definitely my wife's 06 TSX. She loves it. At 200K we are looking for it's replacement and nothing new hits that sweet spot like our current TSX. Current Acura/Honda styling is an oxymoron.

If anyone has a lead on an 06-08 Silver 6 spd non-nav with under 50K, PM me. Will pay top $$.
