Do you guys have 2nd car? (for winter, grocery shop etc.)
I really want to get C63 but it snows a lot in my area.
I was considering 2nd car and was wondering what you guys have for 2nd car.
Thank you!

My alter ego car is a Chrysler Cirrus. Its been irreplaceable when it comes to activities that are potentialy hi risk to my AMG (Winter driving, confined parking lots, questionable neighborhoods, transporting certain things..etc). It's very nice having a second vehicle that's low maintenance, good on gas and something I don't have to worry as much about when I park it. Even with the Chrysler though, I'm still a fanatic with keeping it in good condition --both appearance-wise and mechanically...

2012 C63 Coupe
My 2nd is an Escalade EXT and it's brilliant... Tows the boat, it's AWD so it's great in the snow even on 24's with summer tires, dog rides in the back... It's everything my Coupe isn't which is perfect!
Funny thing is it weighs 5,900 lbs and the engine is a tad smaller than the C63 AMG

Ram 1500 4x4 crew laramie, works good of road hauls my boat & atv's plenty of power from the hemi engine. Only drawbacks are gas mileage and having a hard time parking in tight spots. Other than that shes great and will only be replaced if a light duty diesel ram is released.

Thanks!
I have one question.. Is it bad for the car for frequent short trips? (< 3 mi trips) I thought it is not good for the car to start/stop engine frequently, but since there are many "start/stop" cars (eco mode) out there... it just does not matter for the car to stop/start engine frequently?
The reason I am asking this is, my work place is <3 mi away from my place.. and I do go to Starbucks a lot with car which is also <3 mi... so lots of short trips.. Should I get 2nd car for these?
Thanks!
