Default OT (kinda): Sell my turbo hatch or not?

Here is the deal. I currently own three running cars. My ITR, a 1991 Si (stock), and a 1994 hatch with a turbo B18B.

My turbo hatch is really fun on some days, but overall I'd rather be autocrossing or trying to do track events. I'm thinking of selling it and using the money for the R's tires, brakes, and other fees nessecary for taking on auto-x and roadcourse events. I'll still have my other hatch as a beater/daily driver.


So........

What about selling the 91 Si, daily driving the EG, and pouring the EF's money into the R?

I agree. I'd pick one autox/drag/track car and one street car.

Boost = fun for a street car

Well this isn't exactly a pimptastic looking Si. It the engine runs strong but it's pretty rough around the edges. I wouldn't get more than 1k or so for it.

I just devised a plan for cutting my insurance tremendously. I'm "giving" my parents the R so I'm not associated with the insurance at all. I just make payments through them. That should lower it close to $300 per month (40 year old mom with a clean record and another car). Since it will still have full coverage I'll still be covered when I drive it on the weekend even though it technically won't be my car.

With $250-300 of extra flow per month I might keep all three, but that is still a bunch of cars to tempt me.

I think three cars is pushing it. I would let go of the Si unless a buyer can be found who is willing to pay a decent price for the EG, in which case I'd sell it.
