I've often wondered how people who own multiple vehicles can justify it. If they are just for parts that is a different story but to keep 5 or 10 vehicles running, maintained, insured, licensed and driven on a regular basis seems like a chore. How do you decide what vehicle to drive?

I really only need one vehicle that fits all my needs but I'm into vehicles as a hobby so I figured another one wouldn't be too bad. I've owned as many as 3 at a time but I really only have one that is drivable.

I fall into this category. Vehicles are my main hobby. I don't "justify" them. As long as
I can afford and maintain them.... I drive and enjoy them. As far as which vehicle to
drive.... its whichever I feel like driving at any particular moment.

I'm a trial and error guy, so I won't know how many is too many is until I get there. So to play it safe I'll cast my vote at 15+.

I say 15+, now comes the evil laugh, and the wife holding the divorce papers in the background.

well, since I already own 7 trucks alone, plus my other stuff, I figure that more than 15 might be too many trucks alone. BUT, if I had the room, you can never have too many... :lol:

I only picked 2 as too many because I don't want to pay insurance for any more than I have to. One is enough for me. I have 2 other cars. I need to get rid of one or something. I'm on a military base so I have to pay insurance for all my vehicles except the swepty in the hobby shop because I don't drive it yet.
