The road to recovery from AADD

"Hello, my name is eastsidemav, and I have Automotive ADD..."

I hit a milestone, as of last week, its been a full year since I have bought or sold a car. I have no idea how much longer I'll hold out, but its kind of nice not constantly having to call the insurance agent, and go to the title office and the BMV.

The rallycross Neon is too underpowered to be nationally competitive in its class.

The minivan is kind of junky, needs some front end work, A/C is broken, and I need to track down the oil and trans fluid leaks. A newish Caravan sure is tempting though, after driving a 2014 one as a rental last week.

The Abarth is still loads of fun, even if its not as fast as I'd like.

I could "afford" to improve the collection, but for now, its kind of nice having only the one moderate car payment, and not having to deal with buying/selling. We won't talk about the scooters...

I have a similar issue. I just keep telling myself... "Its paid for, no car payments". Over and over. Its now been two years since I bought a car. I still shop Craigslist nightly.

If I make it through 2015 it'll be the first year in awhile...

I went from two paid for, mostly complete, dead reliable cars to 1 parts truck, 1 parts car, 1 challenge project, 1 DD truck that needs work, 1 project truck, and a Miata that needs nothing but still has parts on order.

Come back to the dark side. You know you want to.

i thought owning 4 vehicles was alot until i joined this forum but i tend to hang on to everything but daily drivers...i like longterm ownership of cars i enjoy.

Last summer I sold an 07 Subaru Impreza that I swapped a motor into, and my 02 WRX. I bought an03Golf that needed some work. It is now my DD.

I just bought an 05 WRX hatch with a blown motor. I used to check Kijiji every night. Now I just check it for parts. I guess I'm on the dark side. Where are the cookies?

Sounds like it's time for you to go back to an RX-7 project! I can give you a great deal!

Oh no, I just filled a 10X10 storage unit in order to get some usable space beck in my garage. Check with Knurled, maybe he needs a spare
