Even then, I think one should also ask themselves the simple question of being able to devote enough time for each car
I think having 3-4 "supercars" is already great, and if you double that, you're halving the time spent with each one of them.
I drive approximately 20,000km's a year, and if I had 4 awesome cars I'd be spending only on avera 5000km's (a hair over 3000miles) on each of them, a year....
That's just not enough, you know, to correctly keep the engine and vehicle in general happy and in form
(well, you gotta give them their daily/weekly exersize, no
).
As much as I'd like to dream of owning a 10 car garage, I think realistically, I'd just end up driving 2 or 3 cars regularly. That story of the Sultan's Nephews (or Brothers... forgot which), that would buy a new supercar on an almost weekly basis, trash it around and then leave it in one of their huge hangars once they got bored with it, just goes to show how quickly we lose the interest... a shame really.
Anyway, forgot to say thank you for the review of the SLR! Splendid =)
