    One I want to drive
    One that gets me to work
    One that 'She who must be obeyed' drives

    Simply put - not nearly enough that I *want* to drive !

    I too would have more if I had the room. As it stands now, I have 4 (was 5 earlier this week, but I sold one of my trucks). 2 - 67's (GS400 and a Skylark), an 04 GTO, and a new Sierra All Terrain. I never thought growing up that I would be so brand loyal because I like all the different cars out there. I just ended up having all GM these last few years. Paying full coverage on the newer vehicles is a must so I don't mind that bill. It's the yearly registration on the newer vehicles that blows. This state (Washington) is so tax crazy...I'm not looking forward to the registration bill next January. I enjoy all of my vehicles, so I can't complain too much. I've spent more money in worse ways...

    I hate when co-workers ask me that! They don't get 'it'. I have some acreage, so storage isn't a problem. My aspirations to work on them outweighs my available time.
    I always lose count, so here goes:
    66 GS's: Silver, Blue, Gold (the color of the sky I'm told), Red and a recently acquired vert.
    66 Special, 65 GS vert, 79 Turbo Regal
    67 Fairlane 500 and a GT
    2 Saab 900 SPG's, a turbo, and a 4 door daily driver that's retired,
    Pick-up truck and a Jeep.

    Ive got 2 classic ,2 daily drivers
    Girlfriend has 2 of each also so 8 total plus car and utility trailers. plus always looking lol
    In Washington the old cars all have classic plates so a one time license as long as you own ,no inspection and classic insurance so that's not bad.
    Now the $300 + and the 400 + annual tabs for my 2 daily drivers that hurts.

    I've had to whittle the herd down to 10 . 5 are daily drivers and 4 are toys. 1 spare beater. All are drivable 7 currently registered and the 8th should hit the road this summer jwhen the 455/4 speed suncoupe is completed.

    I call it a "sickness", because I'm always looking at cars and for that next good deal.

    8 that will run, 1 on the rotisserie, one basket case, one dead and undecided what to do with it yet?

    BUT 1 of them is a Motor home and 3 are trucks, so only 7 cars.:p

    High, my name is Derek and I'm an addict.:D

    Down to two...72 GS Stage 1 convertible and a 87 GNX. When I retired a couple of years ago, I sold my 87 GN, 70 442, 36 Ford street rod and a 99 Trans Am anniversary car. Guess how the kitchen and master bathroom was financed. We each have daily drivers.

    4 "newer" vehicles that I, the wife, and the kids drive as daily drivers. 5 older/antique vehicles including my 1st car, a 1951 Plymouth convertible that I bought when I was 9. Going on over 43 years of ownership of that car.

    Wait a sec, are talking about total cars? I just thought you were talking about Buicks.

    Jen has 4- the three Mustangs and her F350 V10 stick in addition to my five. But, does this count as a "car"? :D

    8 running, 4 not. One of the “nots” is the designated Jason Cook lifetime resto that will probably never run.

    .....but I suppose it matters if: a)Do you want to brag by having one more?
    Or b) Do you want to make yourself feel better about buying another car by having one less?
