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'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.

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

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.

[MrBurgundy]

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...
