I hear you brother.

There is no logical reason for me to keep my '68 220. Hasn't run for years, only needs some brake work, yet there it sits in the garage next to the 544 that gets maybe 800 miles per year. The 745T hasn't been used since my daughter got her own car last December. Then there is the creampuff Prelude that's just too nice to sell.

All these cars and the '70 145 is what I grab the keys for every time. It is scratched / dented / a little rusty / starting to blow some oil, but damn, I smile every time I drive it. And yes, it gets driven everywhere (takes some doing, but can usually get the wife to go in it!). Can't put a price on that.

Keep the 220 if it makes you smile, get rid of the Jeep if it doesn't.
As for convincing your wife, you're on your own.
