The ideas on this are simple: reasons to justify to yourself, or to others, why you need another Here are a few of mine:
What are your excuses for purchasing yet another vehicle (excepting drunken craigslist searching)?

The rally car is too race car to DD The wagon is too nice to rally and hoon, the hatch squeaks funny in the rear and the front struts knock after doing recce in it this summer. I need another impreza so I can hoon around and do non-caged events with and gently caress with turbo poo poo

"I just haven't found the right one yet," she said, while searching Craigslist for her next BMW. Other excuses for buying or searching for BMWs: - I miss my E28/E36s/E39/E46. - I still haven't owned a 2002. - I have a roundel-shaped hole in my heart. - My life is incomplete without some German pain. - I will not be happy until I have one again. - My WRX is too nice to race. - My Elantra just isn't cutting it. - "Dash plastics! Superior German adhesives!" Cue muffled sobbing.

"It's got a straight body and is only $200, gently caress it" - the 89 Celica GT I bought on a whim after the owner yelled at me to buy his car as I drove by him in my 86 GTS. It's been sitting in a storage unit in another state ever since, so has now cost me roughly $3k. And literally the only good thing about it is the body.

1) Gas mileage isn't that important if you live near work 2) Reliability isn't that important if you live near work 3) Heat isn't that important if you live near work 4) This totally will be awesome and not need everything fixed. 5) I'm a goddamn idiot tuna posted:I want a lightweight Jeep ... Being lightweight it will be good on gas, saving me money.

1) Gotta get something with 4wd so I can take the whole family down the logging roads to the family camping spot in one vehicle 2) The late 90s toyotas were easy to fix! 3) See? We can get one for less than four grand! 4) We've never owned a Truck, don't you want to at least see how it is to own one? 5) We've got the room in the driveway now!

When I was trying to save up money to replace the engine in the S2000, I briefly looked at a Volvo with a no start condition on the premise of flipping it to pay for the F20. "This car doesn't run. Better buy another one that doesn't run either!"

"It's got a V8 and AWD and is fast off the line in the rain and I've had one before! I love the ZJ." "I'm tired of worrying about door dings so I guess I'll buy this wrecked B5.5 for $545 and daily it" "Well, I guess I'm pretty familiar with B5 Passats by now, and it's only $600..." The current one is: "I drive a lot and the E46 and B5.5 both get poo poo mileage. What kind of high-MPG shitboxes can I get for (well) under $1000?"

2 is 1 and 1 is none. Therefore, by induction, (the number of cars I own) is zero, and I can't get around this town without a car.
