Is it wrong to own two of the same car?

[wemorgan]

You like one of your cars so much that you decide to buy another of the same. One for you and one for your other half. You're buying a proven good car and think of all those service and maintenance benefits. Or is this wrong and on principal the second car should to be something different?

[EddieFelson]

For me there are too many cars to try out the to have two of the same.

I come close with an Exige and an Elise.

Wrong, WRONG, my old man owns a Renualt Espace and loves it so much he's looking for a 2nd one, how wrong is that??!! It's pretty good for what it is actually

Had 2 Impreza's for a while, did own three but could only fit 2 of them on the driveway

I own 2 MGFs. One is a VVC the other a Trophy so quite different cars really.

If my Mondeo ever goes pop then a second V70 on the drive would be a distinct possibility - the one we've got just works and my wife would find swapping cars less confusing, although an S60 would also be on the cards as we don't need 2 estate cars.

I also work with someone who was setting out to get a matching Honda Jazz for his wife who had recently passed her test and already had quite enough on her mind.

I owned 3 Escort RS1600i s at the same time.

All the same colour too.

Useful for swapping bits to keep 1 running...

It's not wrong, but it is weird...

The reason I sold my mk2 cavalier was meeting too many members of www.mk2cav.com who had 3 or 5. One bloke had 5 at any one time, but always kept 2 of them, but the other 2 or 3 changed yearly, plus he had a shed, FULL of new old stock, which he just purchased whenever a deal was going on egay. Plus all sorts of bits, he'd collected in scrap yards, just in case.

This guy seems to think it's ok.

I have two Riley 1.5s, one a '63 the other a '65. Both are blue - you can never have too much blue.

Explain why.

You can never have too many Lancias in my opinion.

We've got three Golfs.

Wifey has a poverty spec mk1 MX5 90 bhp Monza and a 115bhp mini cooper, and I have a Honda accord diesel.

I would LOVE to have a Mk1 mx5 with Cooper S Supercharger and say 180 BHP....80% of the time there is only me in the Honda, but for maybe 1000 miles a year (and 6 or 7 times) we need a large boot and 5 seats. 7

Wife would not be happy with me messing with her induction system.

[TheFin]

Depends what it is

[Dave G fsi]

Well I did own two of the same car, one was my RS Turbo, and one was a rotten RS turbo that I used for parts for the good one

I wouldnt think twice about owning two of the same car if you knew it was good. Would probably vary the colours though....

Well if there is only one driver having two cars the same is a little strange because normally the reason for having two would be to have some variety - a mile muncher for commuting and a sports car for fun, for example. If there are two drivers it makes more sense but only if the priorities of both drivers are the same, which is they usually aren't.

Weird may have been too strong, but certainly unusual.
