Normal people: "I traded my old car for a new car."
Me: "I need a bigger garage."

Nice same issue here.

911 stays at the office in a private parking garage.

Had older gen BMW M3 (i6). Had custom body kit, exhaust, racing seats etc. Prior to forums and social media ..lol. Then moved to 525 (i6 turbo).

It all started when I bought a used Tacoma Prerunner for my rental property and a "weekend" hauler for my fishing stuff. As it turned out, I started driving it everywhere ...loved the truck feel and driving stance. Later sold my "toy" cars to friends.

Fast forward to now, stayed with trucks to this day. Have ZERO interest in cars or sports cars for that matter. When I wanna feel that burst of speed, I drive my wifes RR.

I have a REALLY soft spot for M3s so don't make me my trade my Ranger now !!

Abandoned my naturally aspirated V8, 6 speed manual, M3 for my Ranger. Don’t regret it. Too much traffic around here to enjoy it!

I bought my Ranger so that I could tow this to the track instead of driving. Much easier that stuffing 4 track tires and wheels into the car along with tools, a jack, pop-up for shade, and 2 chairs.

I still have my two but they are pretty much garage queens. They get less than 1k miles a year these days (the Elise less than that, under 500) ....which is a shame. Too much family stuff going on; kids sports, then fishing, boating and water sports when I am free in the summer, so the Ranger gets all the love. Plus I cant drive the others in the winter.

I was building out my Elise to be a track toy. I put in a supercharger and all the supporting mods, suspension/wheels/tires and aero. Started working on the interior
: Took out the analog and installed a digital race dash, swapping in carbon fiber panels and light weight Kevlar seats. The list goes on. But its a rabbit hole...you guys know how that goes and never done. Oh well I switched over to modding the Ranger now when I get the time! :)

I have shared pics before on here....probably some of the same ones since I tend not to do car photo shoots :) but here are my two sports cars. I have one in there of me trying to catch up to the wife while I was in my Ranger "Old Blue". She would let me get close then gun it.

I thought about it because it was still worth a lot, but i really could not abandon my 2016 GT fastback. I always dreamt of owning a grey mustang since i watched gone in 60 seconds when i was 8 years old. Got it 6 years ago and still drives like brand new. It still brings me happiness, so i traded my 2019 Mazda 3 instead for my Tremor. That one will bring me the same smiles per gallons, but in some place where my mustang could not.

2015 Fiat 500 Abarth, this is a fun fast little ostrich egg. I'll get another one what I mostly miss is the seating. Sit in one and you will see why you don't sit on the ground.

Its very rare to see another guards red 911 and seeing 2 others in this pretty small group is unusual for sure! My sports car is not abandoned, although I admit the ranger gets a lot more miles.
