Nice story about the Ferrari. I actually agree with him about collection size - I'd personally never want to go above 10-12, most likely less than half that, no matter how much money I have. That reaches the point where you're collecting art pieces rather than cars, imo.

Cool video, wish they had detailed more of the collection.
I agree with him on quantity, frankly I think 10 is too many. I have three cars that I would consider toys, and the maintenance, cleaning, and regular exercise is a burden at times. Granted I don't have a mechanic and professional detailer on staff, which would certainly simplify things.

I don't believe people should collect cars. The more you have, the fewer miles you put on each of them and the less that you get to know them and enjoy them. A good friend of mine never had more than one or two but he changed cars fairly frequently and got to sample a huge number of them in his life. I went the other direction, and kept everything I bought, for the most part. When I got up to 26 cars, I started selling them off. Now I have one.
Those guys that have 100 cars or 200 cars... those that have 15 of the same model, so they can have one of every color... they are fools. |

My collection is a whopping 2 and my wife wants to cut it 50%. Looks like I'm going to need to find more storage for the additional eight.
