Rodents are the exact reason I'd like to have a/multiple outdoor cats here... the problem is that I'd need to let them inside in the winter. Garage kitty has crossed my mind.

Totally assuming here, but since he said "depending on how you count kittens that didn't make it" he may live in an area where having outdoor cats is very helpful. My in-laws live out in the Utah desert in a commune in a valley, and routinely have 5-8 cats at any one time, as the cats keep the vermin in check that would otherwise destroy the shit they have. Kittens routinely don't make it unfortunately, and a cat is bested by coyotes or the like too often as well. So it's a sort of rotation of cats in that way.

How do you end up with that many cats? I once had three, and that was about my max.

[MrBurgundy]

That's a lot of cats, where the hell do you keep 13 cats lol

[Chilezen]

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.

WOAH WOAH WOAH. My time to shine here.

I'll make up for everyone who has cars but not cats.

I have 13 cats at the moment. Most cats at once was 19. Had a cumulative total of 28-31 in my life, depending on how you count kittens that didn't make it.

You're welcome, I'm here to balance everything out.

I'll do one better, a month ago my driveway was getting full, so I got some fill from a jobsite, did some prep and made a two space parking extension. Did that to make space to park my boat and one other vehicle. So, naturally I bought another boat and another vehicle to get right back to having no parking space. Whee.[/QUOTE]

Disgusting, contributing to the economy just like those often cute but shy cat moms. At least you're probably killing the planet too, so it all balances out.

I'm def doing my part and making up for people who aren't.

Two boats is crazy tho. Just add a 2001 750Li to the mix and soon you'll have no cars, boats or house.

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

Still not perfect and still slow af, unfortunately

[MrBurgundy]

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.
