Yeah, 20 is getting up there. I've always said I could get by on a studio apartment with an 8 car garage....

If I had an unlimited suppy of money to back up my spending habits, I would probably have around 30 cars.

When I was younger, I used to maintain a list of 20 cars that I would buy if I had the money ... and it required a lot of money as the GTO, Bug Royale and some other big ticket items were on it.
Right now, I would like to have 4 cars in my garage
- BMW M5
- Ferrari 288 GTO
- Ferrari 550 Maranello
- Ferrari Challenge Stradale
And that's it.
I think rather than having 20 cars and driving 500 miles a year on average (10,000 miles by 20 cars), I would be able to do 2000 miles on each car assuming even rotation. It would be good to be friends with others with different interesting cars and trade cars for a weekend or so ... Magwheels for instance. :wink:

For personal: 5-6
For investment: no limit.
For DD i would have prob. about 3, a sports car, a luxo sedan, and an all weather something. But for the special days or events I would have around 5-10 and i would prob. change them on a 1-3 year basis. :mrgreen: unless i really really love it

the sky is the limit.
of course I would only use one or two cars for work days, and another 2 or 3 for the weekends.
but I'd say that n-1 (n=number of great, fancy, super, rare, extreme, fun, sporty, etc cars)

If unlimited resource (i.e. w/ someone making sure everyone is in running condition), 20 it is. If it is only myself, then 5 would prolly be a good number.
hmm....maybe this 5 would do

575M

I'm aiming for a 12 car garage. 11 for me. one for my wife (soon to be...hopefully...)
Some of them would be customs but others would be frame off restos or some kind of collectible.

Driving all 20 or 30 cars is rediqulos :mrgreen: few thousand km on each.
I'd do it this way - building a showroom with garage for service with all needed equipment, buy 20 cars put them on sale and in a meanwhile take one after another to drive(cause all of them are yours anyway:mrgreen:) than you return them back to showroom and the ones wich you fall in love you keep or sell and than buy one in better condition :P ummmm.... what a dream :D

5-10 cars for me. More would be better, but highly unlikely it would happen.
