I'm at well over 30 different cars but most in a completely different price range then you guys have been posting:drool:

Slowed down quite a bit in the last 4-5 years though.

Maybe it should be another thread, but I'm a serial tool buyer.

This is a therapy group right? Or, am I in the wrong place?

Impressive how many cars some of you have owned
Personally I keep my cars a long time (6+ yrs) and am just too afraid of depreciation and the other costs that go with constantly flipping cars

I like to buy cars that won't lose too much money and hopefully make a few bucks when you go to sell them....I made money driving NSX's back in the early 2000's to late 2010's

the gated R8 that I bought two years ago will also most likely make a few bucks....


it's the registration and sales tax that kill me :mad0260:

Yeah 13% tax and several fees here so swapping out is a shit show

At least I've got Harbor Freight for that, so it's not quite as painful. I find that they're great if I need something a little unusual and will probably only use it a couple of times. If I find myself using it regularly I might then go buy a better version of it. But honestly, I've found their Icon line to be pretty damned good as it is, certainly for my use.

I used to be fairly regular buying cars every 3-4 years, but since 2011 I'm about to get my 12th car next week. I have never bought a used car so all brand new. 4 Cadillacs 1 GMC 1 C8 Corvette and next week will be the 6th BMW since 2023. Never have more than 2 at once.
