How many cars do you have and how many is too many?

Wife's '08 Taurus
My '99 F250 4x4
'61 Short Bed Unibody - Not started on that one much yet
'61 Pro Street Falcon - Tube frame, 460/C6, Currently a project
'57 F100 short bed seen at left
'73 Kawasaki I've had since '73. This one probably should go live someplace else.
2 Dirt Modifieds just for fun

Always looking for more but no room anymore!

I'm an odd duck as I haven't bought any vintage steel yet, though the desire is definitely there.

Presently our garage consists of:
2008 Honda Civic Si (Wife's daily driver)
1986 Audi CoupeGT (Was my rainy day car until it became a problem child)
1987 VW Scirocco (Cheap and cheerful restoration)
1982 VW Scirocco (Parts car, additional storage )
2004 Triumph Speed Triple (My daily rider)

I'm hoping to get the Audi and VW finished up and sell the both of them, scrapping the parts VW. They are my proof of concept of if I'm ready to handle an older project car. I'd really love to find something that is running and not completely falling apart, but in need of restoration. The idea being that I can daily drive it when the weather doesn't suite the motorcycle and wrench on it in the days between. 30's flathead Ford would be a treat, but 60's 289/390 Ford is looking a bit more realistic.

 

My daily driver 03 Toyota tacoma
My work truck 97 F-250 Ford
56 Corvette complete, original and a driver
1932 Ford five window coupe (present project about 85% finished)
Non-Drivers and back burner projects;
1950 F-1 Ford pick up
1967 Toyota Landcruiser
1965 Chev malibu SS
1930 Ford model A five window coupe
1965 VW (I'm the original owner)
1997 GMC 2500 sierra

crap forgot to say that you can never have enough vehicles....unless the vehicles you have you dont use/dont do anything with. then its time to let someone have it that will work on it.

Guess I've got it worse than anyone,right now I have 52 cars and am still looking. Cars range from Lamborghini diablo to 27 T tub with a bunch of anglias and chopped and V8ted VWs thrown in

 

I have 3 cars and im only 15!

 

If you can't finish or afford to finish what you have, that's too much.

 

'49 Plymouth Sedan
65 Fairlane Wagoon
'69 Sunbeam GT Fastback
'69 Austin Mini Cooper S
96 LandRover Disco *
2006 Jetta TDI
and an assorted Pile of bits trying to be a car.

I'm trying to offload 1 or 2, knowing I will likely get another.

I have a friend* who has too many. Mostly british cars, numbering 40+ in varrying states of decay sitting in a field rotting. He won't part with them. they will just sit there untill they disolve or get hauled to scrap when there is nothing left. It actually makes me rather sad and angry that he is so selfish that he needs to accumulate cars he has no use for. There's an early 60's Lotus body in there I may just sneak in and steal. make a good start for my "special" project. wonder how long before he'd notice.

 

ALOT They just follow me home, so I have to keep them. 2 barns, 2 shops and seven acres. Still room for more. I likem

 

I have a 1939 chevy truck,1940 chevy truck,46 chevy truck,41 chevy coupe,63 nova,66 gto,49 buick,85 monte carlo ss,77 gmc and 07 dodge truck.That is all i have for driveable ones not counting buisnees trucks.
I also have about 6 other 39-46 chevy trucks and coes that i am trying to figure out a game plan for.

 

I sold the M-47 pickup ...
Someone wanted way worse than I did ( $$$)
When the HOT 100 degree weather calms down ... I will most likely buy another 40 Ford to put in the project space.
1940 standard businessman coupe ONLY.

 

Too many, depents on my shop. ;-) jokes a side, it's to many when you know you ain't never gonna fix Them all/drive them/enjoy them/pay insurence/tax them.

3 Volvo 122 (the Danish version of the shobox), a Volvo 142 (for sale) and a 1956 Bedford truck.
And my daily driver, a vw diesel that goes 22km on a liter diesel. I think thats about 51mpg.
A POS but saves my so much money, that I can have 6 cars on a minimum income job.

 

3 and right now....none of them are running!

 

Way the hell too many...

31 A Roadster project
46 Cadillac Sedanette project
54 Customline Fordor
56 Packard (Custodian of it, garage queen)
58 Porsche 356A ***OT***
60 Lincoln Premiere
60 Lincoln Continental Ragtop project total mess
60 Vauxhall Velox
62 Vauxhall Velox project (Anyone want it? If someone is willing to save it they can HAVE it)
87 Mustang LX V8 Shell ***OT*** (I want to put a flathead in this just to fuck with people)
88 BMW M5 ***OT***
93 Range Rover County LWB ***OT***
97 BMW 740iL ***OT***
04 Lamborghini Murcielago ***OT***
06 Jag XJ8 ***OT*** Now basically given to my Mom so she can get more speeding tickets
07 Lexus GS350 ***OT*** <--I hope this POS burns in hell

I also think I need a 49-51 Merc or Baby Lincoln Coupe.... Plans are...

Finish 60 Lincoln. Sell 60 ragtop, build Cadillac, Build A Roadster.

Finish those.

Then get hands on (Perhaps not in this order) 56 Lincoln premiere coupe and 59 Mercury.

I also need to own a 37 Ford and a 37 Zephyr. Both must be coupes.

I don't have wife and kids, this is how I do it

 

2012 VW Tiguan, 2007, mini cooper S, my work van 2007 Chrysler minivan, btw one of the most dependable vehicles I have EVER owned, 2007 Yamaha 125cc scooter and my under construction modified based on a 29 RPU. I usually have just lone project car, with the snow and ice we get here you really can't leave anything outside, it gets expensive having lots of garage an storage space, the worst part here is paying the fucking property taxes!

 

Not including modern grocery getters. This summer I licensed my 50 merc sedan and my 49 merc coupe plus I am gathering parts for a 49 merc rag. I would like to sell the sedan to help finance the rag. I guess three is to many.

Too many cars is not my problem, not enough parking is.
More paved parking, and more indoor would make life easier.
Insurance Companies love me.

 

2 daily drivers, plus these. My insurance bill tells me that this is enough!!

 

With that call, you must not be on CW much.....lol
