What happend to Your "PH" car when You become a parent?
Discussion
We often have "what car" threads, and threads discussing best family/everyday cars. What interests me is what were the actual changes You've made to Your fleet when You become a father/mother? Have You sold Your sportscar altogether, or swapped Your Caterham to a 911? Have You abandoned Your shed and went to buy a new, shiny and safe vehicle with 8 airbags?

I was about to start some welding repairs and general restoration on my RS2000 around the time my son was born. Then we moved house and it sat for years while kids and DIY took up my time and energy.
At least it's still there and I did make a small start on the work a couple of years ago (and injured my face while doing it), so I need to find the enthusiasm to crack on with it as I can't really blame the kids anymore as he's starting 6th form in September...

2012 C63 to 2013 S Line Plus Q5 Diesel. I underwent the equivalent of castration for a petrolhead.
Mrs became the primary driver, and the c63 was too much for her (her previous car was a Fiesta)
Yeah but on the bright side you have the luxurious trinkets of the S-Line trim. Your neighbours must think you're doing alright. Oh 'the imagine' Mrs became the primary driver, and the c63 was too much for her (her previous car was a Fiesta)
Sold an M3 thinking I should be sensible and bought a disco 3
Got bored and bought another M3 (with a JCW Mini Cooper s as a stop gap)
Then bought a 911 which is still useable (kids now 9 and 10).
Also sold motorbike thinking I should be sensible.
Bought another one after about 2 months.

I kept the mx5 til we confirmed the second one was coming at which point we(she) decided I need 4 seats. In response i bought a 172.
When No.2 got bigger we(she) decided I needed a more family oriented car with 4 doors and a decent boot so I bought an impreza.
She has since stopped interfering in car decisions
