Haha... my last car was a 1992 honda civic with 289,000 kms on it. good little car for sure cheap to run. HOLY crap do i ever feel spoiled and appreciate the GTI now... 
The point of the civic was to save money and buy the GTI with cash. which is awesome btw. but i had no idea how much more i would appreciate the refinement of this car after suffering through the civic for so many years. haha

Cool, I had a '98 Tacoma. Had it for 10 years and sold it for $4k. Should have never sold it. Kick myself daily for selling it. You can just beat on those things for 300k miles but mine had some mechanical problems here and there. Had to replace both o2 sensors, fuel pump, starter motor, etc. etc. usual stuff. Fun little truck though. Oh well.

2008 Altima Coupe with the 3.5 V6. slightly faster than the GTI but it was nowhere near as nice interior wise and, had the CVT transmission so it wasn't as fun to drive either.. I still miss it from time to time though. It was my FIRST car...

how do you afford to have all of those cars insured and registered?
im wanting a gti for storage (have it garage kept and all my extra money will go towards modding it and keeping it extremely low miles atleast until its exactly the way id wish it was..) and having the eclipse or maybe a e36 hatchback or e30 as a daily but idk if ill be able to have any extra money at the end of the month after paying hundreds of dollars for being able to legally drive two cars on public roads...
sorry for going off topic...back on topic now..

I only drive and keep insured the 4Runner, GTI, and both motorcycles. 4Runner actually helps, I think it costs around $47/month to keep it insured liability only, then listed as my primary vehicle, I do drive it most of the time. When I have the GTI as a secondary vehicle, even with full boat coverage, the rate is much lower (save more) than the $47/month premium I pay to insure the 4Runner.
It's complicated, given my line of work, I'm in real estate. Own the 4Runner and the motorcycles, lease the GTI. Cars through Progressive, and bikes through Dairyland (Sentry).
You should work with your agent to see how they can fit a plan best for you, often what I've found is the greatest cost is actually maintaining two cars at once.
Hope the mess helps at all.
*The car I forgot was a 2003 Jaguar X-Type 3.0. Sluggish dog which also makes me appreciate DSG. Also a lease.
