Car Problem

[topdawg4ever]

Just realized I’ve had 12 cars in 18 years and about to buy another in the Dark Horse. I’d say that is a problem. Sure, there are worse hobbies or addictions but this probably isn’t good. F

The first step to admitting you have a problem.

I always say it's cheaper than other addictions like cocaine and such...

I've had 23 in just the past ~22 years alone, 16 of them brand new and 7 used. My grand total is likely double that. Not a big deal, really.

It is what it is! Luckily my wife of 54 yrs tolerates my bad habits. I’ve just quit counting! LOL.

34 and lost count at 200 a few years ago. It is a problem, no doubt

Are you saying you are 34 years old and have purchased more than 200 cars for personal use? Even if you started buying at 18, that means you've bought and driven a different vehicle every ~29 days. If you're saying you've been married for 34 years (assume married @ 20), that means you've purchased a personal vehicle every ~98 days.

I have bought/traded a lot. I am 34. It was not unusual to have multiple vehicles at a time some years ago

Oh, me, too. I own four now.

But to have owned 200 vehicles in that time period, you'd have to have bought or traded for a different vehicle every single month for ~16 years.

My GT is lucky number 25 for me. I’m 40.

I thought I went through a lot of cars, at least in my youth. I've slowed down now though, or maybe learned to let them live a little longer.

Just my two cents. I keep a list for myself. It's not for bragging or impressing anyone. It is a fact. I don't know what answer you seek from me?

Ive got a friend who’s like you. Not as many cars I don’t think but I’ve watched him buy a car and sell that car the same day multiple times. We used to go to the Auburn car show in Indiana and Mopar nationals yearly in Ohio. Fun times and I got to drive a lot of cars over the years. He got tired of vehicles very fast I guess.
