    To sell or not to sell, that is the question!!!

    Here is the delema:

    One nice low mile good running 98 Cobra with mods.

    One new 04 MM with no mods, 'cept that K&N.

    One owner with the desire to go fast in style.

    Do I:

    Keep the Cobra and add minor (affordable) bolt ons to the MM, sell the mini van. Wife drives the MM. Result: two very kewl cars

    Sell the Cobra, mod the out of the MM. Wife doesnt make it past the passenger seat. Result: one awsome MM.

    Keep all three vehicles, no mods. I dont like this one, neither does the wife!

    Now, we own three vehicles and dont commute. I have a company car and she works from home. We dont need this many cars around. She is not into cars and could care less about what she drives.

    For the record, The van is currently for sale. I have been contemplating the sale of the Cobra and will post in the Vehicles for Sale section. I have not been very aggresive with attemptinig to sell either vehicle.


    You know what they say about opinions, so whats yours?

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Sell the minivan. I live in a (soon to be) 4 car- 2 driver household.

    The Marauder is my joy- I believe they'll bury me in this car. The Ranger is the perfect commuter vehicle (and you can haul stuff around in it). The Jaguar is the mid-life whim for an overweight soon-to-be 40 bald guy. The Tribute is Coli's ride and she loves it.

    One day when we're all sitting on the steps on the Marauder old folks home, you want to look back on your life and say, 'I sold a minivan so the wife could drive a Marauder!" We'll all laugh and call you a genius...Doesn't sound too bad- Does it, Bro?

    Keep them all. You never know when you may need a spare. Besides would you really want to haul lawn and garden supplies in either the Cobra or MM.

    Yeah, mine too. I found her and Marauder in the same month (June 03 was the best month of my life) and she has never driven the car. She loves the local Marauder folks, Loves the people we've met on the board, she'll ride shotgun to any Marauder event I want to and she actively reports Marauder sightings but it's just not her "thing". I'll probably never be into crochet or collecting holiday decorations- we're just different that way. That being said, there are two things we agree on:
    1) Elvis faked his death.
    2) No minivans.
    Sell that thing!!

    I do have kids, and I can use the company car when not working. I can use it to cart the dirty stuff.

    I sent my wife the link here, I wont be surprised to see some smart ass remark from her here!!

    Or you could have my problem and that is trying to wrestle the keys to the Marauder out of your wife's hands.
