Default Neglect of GS350 AWD due to new MX-5

Hello all, I just bought an 08 MT GT 6 speed, with prem. pckg as a third car to have a little sport in my life. The purchase comes on the heals of buying an 08 Lexus GS 350 AWD, which I have not driven for a week as the MX-5 is so much fun to drive and gets much better on gas. It seems awkward to say but I look in the garage and have two cars to choose from, but for now I drive the MX-5. I have debated the costs of keeping two cars, but after having paid for the GS 350, I really have no choice but to keep it if I need a third car or use my wife's Q7 which is not an option. What became of your Lexis if you have a third car? year make and model?

well yeah, if you recently bought a new GS, financially it won't add up to get rid of it, that's true of any car, lexus or otherwise. not a bad problem to have tho.

Yea, I would agree, try to keep it for another year or so and then you can start thinking of selling it.

My question is....when it comes to a snowy winter in PA and your looking in your garage at the two cars(since wifey won't let you near her ride)...what are you going to drive. I'm assuming the Miata is not an AWD model. So you have one summer car and one winter car. Keep 'em both if affordable.
