Question HOW MANY CARS/TRUCKS DO YOU OWN?

I grew up in a house where we only owned one car - my father had a company car occasionally before he owned the business so that helped, but there were no extras around. Today, everybody seems to have multiple cars around - winter trucks/suv's, summer convertibles, commuter, weekend & especially collector cars. I'm looking for a car for my son, but my ex-wife currently has two cars so there's no reason for me to hurry with that.

How many cars/trucks do you have in your household?

8 collector cars, 2 pickup trucks & one suv.

One SUV, 1 pickup, two daily cars, one collector car--two in the garage. The cop down the street doesn't like my 73 Firebird because she's old and ugly (and so is the Firebird).

An SUV for me, a minivan for the wife and my 67 Firebird. My youngest daughter will start preschool next year and I hope to get a newer crew cab pickup with the savings from daycare costs. My oldest daughter will be driving in 2 years so I may save the SUV for her.

Two Buicks, a Thunderbird, a Silverado, a Jeep, a street bike and as of last Saturday a '69 Firebird. The Jeep and Firebird aren't currently registered, but all my stuff runs and moves under it's own power. Seven, not too bad for just myself =P

I only have a few now:

I have two 64 (LeMans/GTO) type vehicles. My original convertible and a 64 Lemans hardtop chassis car.

I have a 2001 Ranger Super Cab (in perfect shape) but will probably at some point do the Extreme 4x4 routine on it.

The toys being mentioned:

I have a "last year" Windstar (which is an outstanding vehicle for hauling college stuff back and forth to school for my daughter and 4 people).

I have a 2010 Ranger regular cab short that my son drives

and lastly I have a new Escape flex-fuel vehicle with a sport towing package (so we don't have to use two vehicles) to haul 4 people up north with our summer crap.
