re: How do you baw resist the urge of getting a second car?

Rapidly rising insurance costs are one reason. That said, for a while, we had five cars for two people. Parsed that down to three. Two are quite old, but reliable. All are paid for, and I have no plans to reduce the fleet even further.

I switch between two regularly. One is a car, the other a truck. One benefit is that if I need work done, I can leave it with my mechanic and we still have two cars at our disposal.
