I get to 25 since 1997. That's >1 / year. But I had a very active phase for the first 10 years there, slowed down significantly since due to work ...

Either that, or else you are running an exotic car dealership ?

Most of the parts cars are labeled as such. There might be a few not labeled that way but most are running/driving

Nope. If I did that I would go broke. My specialty is "buy high and sell low"

I'm divorced, kids out of house, no expensive vices other than cars....time to play!

I currently have around 20 licensed and running cars. However, that's too many since old cars always need something. I plan to be down to around 10-12 cars buy the end of the year.

I'm building a new warehouse to store them in...grading finished up yesterday....

Well, I thought my 24 was a lot of cars. By PPOT standards, I may be below average.
