I have a Mini Cooper S convertible to remind myself what it's like to be able to drive fast and whip around corners. I have a Citroen 2CV and an original Fiat 500, both with 2 cylinder engines, to remind myself that as slow as my Westy is, it could be much, much, much slower. I have a '78 VW crew cab because I got tired of getting the interior of my Westy dirty whenever I needed to haul something. And my wife has an all wheel drive Toyota minivan because she doesn't care if her vehicle has all the personality of dry toast just as long as it trudges through the snow, holds lots of kids and their stuff, and never breaks down.
