In july I got a job that upped my income quite a bit. The insurance was awful though, we were going to be paying 850 a month for a family plan. I took the job anyway, got insurance for me and my boys and left my wife to find insurance on her own. She kept getting refused because she has issues getting pregnant..despite the fact that none of the insurances she looked into offered maternity...
I started looking around and found an even better job. Family plan is going to be 300 a month, 90/10 on the insurance. And it's literally going to double my income from my first job. So I SHOULD have plenty of money laying around to finally get into something a little quicker. We still don't want to have two car payments so I'd like your advice.
Is it better to have one car that you keep as a continual project/daily driver? Or better to keep the two seperate?
If I'm getting just one vehicle, I'm going to double my wifes car payment so I can get a new car, which would have to be 4 door and average around 20ish mpg.
If I'm getting a second vehicle I could get something a whole lot cheaper and get whatever I wanted.
keep the two seperate imho.
a project car is just that, a project. it's something you work on and put money into when you can and when you have it. a daily driver needs to be well maintaned and be completely operable every day.
just my .02
I agree with ^^^
The biggest plus about have a seperate project car IMO is being able to leave the car torn apart knowing you don't have to drive it the next morning to work.

I have an 06 Grand Prix with about 50K miles on it.
I'd like a 89-93 fox body maybe a 3rd gen Camaro, or hell..if I could find a really sweet deal on a civic, that is something I've always wanted to tinker with. Like engine swap, turbo, etc. On a 4 door that on the outside would be totally stock. Project wise I don't want anything I have to build from the frame up. I want something I can drive to work a few days a week...something like a solid weekend warrior I can beat the piss out of, lol.
Grand National....or any mid 80's G-body can be built up pretty fast too. Easiest to swap in a built 350 on a Monte Carlo, but the regal looks best IMO.
Could also build a really fast regal gs too
