The big question: To store, or not to store.

[Kelvin]

Alright, I can't sleep, and this is part of the problem.

Background: My SVX has been in heated, indoor storage since August of 2005. I didn't need a car, and it would just get beat up if I left it out. Anyway, when I put it in storage, the flexplate was rattling pretty bad, and it has some pretty minor body damage. Other than that it's in great shape.

Recently, the place I've stored it at is changing owners, so I can't keep it there anymore. I have to move it. So, now I have a dilemma... should I keep it out? I currently have a 92 Accord automatic that I 'inherited', but I really hate that car. It just drives like ass, and the previous owners did not take proper care of it, so it's pretty severely rusted, and has a lot of minor issues.

Seeing as how I'll be in school for the next 2 years, I'm torn between selling the accord, and using it on my SVX, and keeping the SVX out, or, shoving my SVX back into storage, and beating on the accord.

Now, there are a lot of pros and cons to each decision:

Keep SVX out: Pros: I love it. I get to drive it. When I fix something I don't mind because i'm putting money and effort into a car I enjoy.
Cons: It will get beat up. The roads around here are crap, and I am sure they will wear out my suspension, which is pretty new. It will probably also suffer from parking incidents, as nobody ever bothers to learn how to paralell park anymore without ramming the surrounding cars. Also, upkeep on the SVX has never been stellar... it's reliable, but parts are more expensive, you guys know what I'm talking about.

Store SVX: Pros: SVX stays safe. I have a cheap beater car that get good MPG, and has cheap parts. I don't have to worry about parking.
Cons: I drive a car I hate for 2 more years of my life. What is the point in owning a nice car if you don't drive it? Storage fees are a waste.

What do you guys think?
