Lost count, but quite likely over 40 counting me, wife, and daughter. I've slowed WAY down in the last decade, as both of my Z06's are 10 years old, but I used to have new cars ever 1-2 years for a very long stretch. I have the oldest car of all 3 of us. I WILL have the new Supra that gets unveiled in January 14th at the Detroit Auto Show.

28 I think. 3 new. Now if you add in the cars I bought for the Corvette dealer in south FL, then it becomes somewhere close to 200.

A shedload. I spent much of my youth and middle age buying, fixing, trading and selling cars, bikes and 4 wheelers. Best estimate is in excess of 50 total.

A few years ago at the other place someone started a thread like this. A couple of fine folks there called me a liar.
Most of these I titled, some I never did. I had my second Vette almost five years and never titled it. Longest I owned a car was thirteen years. Most I had at one time was seven, all running and driven. I got a letter from the city two years ago about "inoperable vehicles in my drive". (I had a '91 LeBaron vert/ 68k, '97 Tbird /74k, '97 Firebird Y87 /158k, '01 I30t /160k, '00 G20t Infiniti /160k, plus her '00 Quest /150k). I called them and told them if they had looked at them they would have seen all had current tags. Almost all these vehicles I paid cash for (only financed four cars in my life). Only lost money on maybe ten, usually because I kept them too long. This does not count cars my ex-wives bought. Well, here goes. Right now, three. Last year, ten. Total since I bought my first (69 Camaro) in Aug 1977, 211 cars and trucks. Yes, 211. And five motorcycles. These are some I had three or more of: Camaros = 14 Tbirds = 13 Firebirds = 7 Galaxies = 7 Altimas = 7 Corvettes = 6 Cougars = 5 Maximas = 4 Chrysler/Dodge minivan = 4 Quest/Villagers = 4 Sentras = 4 I30 Infiniti = 3 Miatas = 3 Novas = 3 Pathfinders = 3 Nissan p/u = 3 Ranger = 3 Chevettes = 3 Chevy p/u = 3 I have pics of most of them. And I am shopping right now. (P.S. - my brother has had more than me. He had thirty six in one year!) Letter I got: I was driving the Lebaron that day, and the Firebird was in the front yard. |

15 cars, 1 pickup, 4 motorcycles over a little less that 50 years ... I guess I hang onto them for awhile ...that is for both me and wifey.

In 28 years of driving I’ve had only 8 and only one if those was purchased new - my current truck. I tend to keep my cars a long time, my 94 vette I bought in 99 and kept for 15 years. My last two trucks I’ve had for at least 8 years each

Last one was a couple years ago (speeding, registration, insurance). Had insurance but no card with me, hadn't registered it yet (only had it I think three days), but guilty on the speeding. Registered it before court, brought the card, and he dropped the speeding in lieu of court costs. |
