Pick 1 out of the 2 cars to keep

I have huge dilemma now after 5+ months of fighting with the insurance company I "won"... They caved and are offering a cash settlement (I can do whatever I want with it) and the car with clean title. So do I keep the minivan or keep two "sporty" sedans???

2001 Toyota Sienna Minivan... Exterior is very clean for its age (no dents, have to look very hard to find rust, steelies), odd blue clue that stands out, interior is basic, 320,000 km, no service engine light, 87 gas fine,

2002 Nissan Maxima SE... I would have to somehow "attach" the side skirt back onto the body panel cheaply... 91 fuel...

2007 Infiniti G35(s) 6 speed

personally I had an 01 sienna and it was a tank and was useful to carry around the bigger items. I would keep that and the g35 for the funsies.

I'm going to have to agree with Crusher. G35's are a little lame, and the 5th gen isn't that great of a car. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent automobile but you can do some dope ish with a van.

Course I'm not a big fan of "sports" cars. At least ones that are affordable. Owning one is pretty much like entering yourself into a performance competition that never ends, or it at least appears to be the intention. And you end up depriving yourself of two extremely practical doors in the meantime.

For the record, I don't consider any generation Maxima a "sports car". And again, that's a good thing.

What about selling both and finding a truck or something? Are Ford F150 reliable enough?

The G35 has hankook tires and it's squeaking and chirping so often it's embarrassing
