You should be using a lawyer for a Chapter 13. There are too many pitfalls to go it alone. In fact, I just heard a bankruptcy judge give this advice to a Chapter 13 debtor in court the other day.
As to your question, keeping your vehicles or getting new ones should not be a problem as long as you can afford the cost. But you do not want to give up your cars and then file without having any transportation. I had a client who gave up a car right before we filed and it was very difficult to find a replacement.
