I don't know how you guys own so many vehicles. Just the taxes and titling (on 30-40 cars) would drain my bank account.

1975 MB 280
1995 Nissan 200SX SE-R
1987 930
2008 Honda Civic

That's not counting the wife's cars. But she's only had 3 in the 15 years we've been together.

I've also had motorcycles:
1976 Kawasaki KH400A

Agreed - and a fine "tech" topic it is, too!

79 Opel GT - yeah, the 1.9L - $900

The holy grail of automobiles!

[jsoderbe]

I stopped counting at 200.... Maybe close to 300 by now, of which 40 or so Porsches?

I usually have 5-6 drivers plus 8-10 stored cars. Change drivers every 6-12 monts or so. Usually my drivers are cheap ones so I can afford P cars.

I am sure there is a diagnosis that fits me. ADD? :-)

1972 Porsche 911E Targa*
2004 Volvo S60R*

52 cars. I'm 59, and I've had a real car problem. There's probably a few Alfas I've forgotten, I went through a fit in the early 70's. Still own those with a *. I can't tell you how many of those I wish I'd have kept.

Impressive list!

I did this list for another car forum and it reminded me that I have been very irresponsible at times with my cars and finances BUT I have had fun. I believe that the total was in the 60-70 range; however that included cars that I have rebuilt from salvage, purchased as a base for a race car or as a parts car(including the miatas I bought so I could resale the hardtop to Spec Miata types and then sell the rest of the car for profit), or just bought for the purpose of flipping. My parents put me to work in a body shop in my teens to reinforce the concept that I needed to stay in school and away from my car habit and it worked to a degree in that I am a licensed and practicing attorney but still have the garage and dirty fingernails. But ahh, the memories.
There are several I wish that I had kept, particularly the '71 Nova SS and '72 Buick Skylark GS convertible, for the american muscle fans but I also owned multiple unique japanese cars ie MR2 SC, RX-7 GTU-s, RX-3 XP etc. Probably the most unique was '84 RX-7 GSL-SE with a built 4 port 13B, holley carb, RB header and suspension. I found it on a "buy here; pay here" lot and because the intake had a crack in it, it wouldnt start or idle. I hate to admit how little I paid for that car and how much fun it was to drive.
Again I have a serious car habit and it is one reason I really tried to fight the porsche disease for years. I lost and am now on my third 911 during that time period.
