If You Had To Reduce Your Fleet By Half, What Would You Hang Onto? - The Autopian

 

'' I think I would press my 2006 Smart Fortwo diesel into service as my daily driver. It gets 70 mpg all day long, is nearly bulletproof reliable, and it would hit the spot of being weird and different. I used to daily nothing but Smarts for eight years, so I know it can be done. ''

I only have 3 on the road vehicles at the moment and really only one is being used. I have a completely fitted out van for traveling in that is used solely for what it was built for, then I have my 2005 CDI fully restored sleeping in my garage where it will stay until it's needed once again. That leaves my daily driver a 1991 Volvo 244, completely stock and basically rust free. I'm the second owner and seeing as it doesn't have much in the way of electric powered or electronic systems , it's almost built proof on the maintenance front.
So I suppose I have already shaved my fleet down to one usable vehicle with two sitting on the side lines IF they are needed.
This is a far cry from my worst, 8 insured and used vehicles.....the savings in ins alone is enough to keep it the new norm. Yes they are all insured but only one is fully insured for immediate road use.

OK......thanks for not including other idiotic mechanical projects.....lol.

My main concern for the next few years is to replace all my hip and knee joints. I'm almost halfway there. This has stopped all mechanical projects in their tracks.
