Ok guys, here's the deal, I am about to move to Florida and I can only take one car with me. I currently have four lovely options sitting in my yard and garage, they are... 1.) 1986 Pontiac Fiero. 5 spd It is a fun car to drive and I love the weirdness about it, runs good but the paint is pretty bad and I dont really trust it for a eight hundred mile drive. Thinkng of selling. 2.) 1994 Honda Del sol. 5 spd Fun car, but has close to 300k on the odometer, timing belt and distributor were changed a while ago. also has poo poo paint and is lacking most of the clear coat. 3.) 2005 Chevy Impala Automatic, boo Boring car with only 72k on the engine, maybe the most reliable. It is big. 4.) 1976 MGB. 4 spd Unreliable but i have a sentimental attachment to it and I will probably tow its rust riddled body down at a later date. So, given these four options I am open to any advice. I have no kids and no real need to have a practical or safe car. Help me out I am so torn in my choices. What would YOU do?

I would daily the Impala and keep the MG. You will want something with decent AC in Florida and nothing beats huge American cars for dope AC.

I'd sell them all and buy something else, lol. One DD, one project/fun car. Doesn't mean the DD has to be boring though. For your situation I'd say Impala and MG or fiero.

Doing it right would mean replacing the Impala with something at least more entertaining while still relatively low-effort in maintenance.

Keep the Fiero, turn it into other cars as the whim takes you.

I dont really like boring cars or cars that dont need me.

On The MG the seals on the clutch master or slave cylinder blew so I have to rebuild that mess.

Sell all 4 and buy a rust free car when you get there. New beginnings and all that.

Oh man my first reaction was "sell the Fiero and the Del Sol" but I think the Fiero is a weirder car than the MG. I'd recommend flipping a coin, heads sell the Fiero, tails the MG.
