Too Many Cars

I need a new framework of thinking to justify the fleet of cars I owned, as they start not to make sense financially as well as in terms of utility.

I love them, one at a time, especially when I drive them or think of them.

I hate them, in almost the same way, when I drive them or notice the defect.

When I love them, I keep driving them, until a point that I am too aware of the defect or grow tired of having the same experience. Then I switch car so I am no longer obsessed with the negative thought associated with the one I have been driving. But the problem is, the fleet is growing in number. How many is enough?

Is it possible to own merely one car? The answer is yes provided that the period is short.

Would I get tired of LS430?

Finally the LS430 is in my hand, immediately I sold off the RX300 which is also a Lexus.

It has power, and it has the refinement and smoothness. It is big and a handful to park, more so than the longish and biggish CL500. LS430 excels the CL500 with the convenience of 4 doors and the strong air conditioning. The gearbox is one of the best shifting 5-speeder I have tried.

The leather trim is a bit old and worn. The chairs sag.
