You also have a large space to keep half a dozen cars... I have 2 cars and my wife thinks I have too many

I think it's more so that I don't have a wife lol

But the parking lot helps, me keep the cars and stay single.

I'm going to be the equivalent of a single cat mom, but instead of cats.... cars purchased for 5k or less.

Had my e30 for almost 9 years now :0

Still not perfect and still slow af, unfortunately

Exactly, if we were smart we would've kept a few cars long-term and dumped stupid money into them and made them perfect... but instead I'm buying and selling annually. Luckily lately the cars have hung around a little longer. Still hoping the 996 stays, but theres always a shiny new toy out there.

That's the way.

I'd say we're behind in actuality, probably a lot of wasted time and effort in all of those projects. Wrenching on someone's project used to be a regular Friday or Saturday thing, but for years it's been almost all solo, so it's clearly some character defect that I keep doing it at 36. Probably self loathing of some kind considering what I buy.

Damn lol

I've owned 12 cars that I used personally and not like bought with the intention of selling. 32 years old.

2man and toast are ahead by a long shot.

What a divide, would have expected more cars from both of you above. Over 30 here, but not by as much as I thought. Adding in other vehicles with titles pushes it to 50ish, which makes me shudder at the titling fees I've paid for that fun.

to be far, at least a dozen were sh!tbox MK1 VWs that I basically resurrected and sold while living in Washington. Didnt put too many miles on most of them...

[808ETA]

I think I've had 15 cars total including 3 e30s

[Northern]

Shit, I'm only at 9, 12 if we count bikes. I think I look at a lot of cars and don't end up buying them.

Part of that is that I've kept my e30 forever, balanced against the 4 "Project" E30s/E28 that I seem to continuously buy/realize I don't have time for/sell/repeat.

[Chilezen]

I have had 2, can I have a cookie please
I guess 3 if I count the truck that I borrow from my mom when I need a truck.

I get pretty attached to my cars, so they're usually with me until they someone or myself wrecks it

[varg]

That is crazy. My FD brings me to 9 and I don't think we're too far apart in age.

I want to buy some fun motors and stash em… current ones I really want are a VR6 (12v) and a SHO Yamaha V6… then I just need a 914 🤣

You want the SHO engine and it's not the V8? If I'm hoarding some fun engines are no 6 cylinders on my mind and if there were they wouldn't be in a V. Mercedes M120 and M156, Mazda 20B, LS7...

You know whats crazy? How many cars you've owned

I made a list recently... Its only in the 30s

[MrBurgundy]

Just looked back to see when it was that I bought my first E30, 2011... I think I will bump the thread after I fix the photobucket-linked pics...
