If you can keep it for winter use/Home Depot runs, etc it's not a bad thing. Plus when you Aero inevitably needs some down time for fun things like a head gasket the old '94 will be there for you. My now departed C900 did this for my '96 CSE a couple winters back.
Depending on the laws in your state, you may be able to run with minimal insurance, or turn the insurance off if you don't need the car but still keep it registered (so you have plates). If you do this, though, drive the car every few weeks to keep the rust off the rotors, etc., so it'll be ready when you need it.
The other side is if you have room for the extra car without too much grief from your bride, the neighbors, etc.
