PJD - forget practical reasons?
I have 2 cars because the S2k was an emotional buy - but I needed a practical (but not a "sensible" car. Decent beaters can be picked up for a song these days.
I insure on a multi-car policy with Admiral and do about 8k a year in each. The premium for both is lower than I was paying for the S2k alone. I obviously cannot be in both cars at the same time - and the beater is a lower risk.
