    Gang,

    Missing the point here... It's entirely possible to have too many cars when
    the goal is to drive them ALL regularly. We put 15-25,000 miles on our
    collector cars annually and adhere to a "no paperweights" rule- if we stop driving
    one for any reasons other than that it's down for restoration or long-term
    maintenance, we take a good hard look at whether or not we should keep it. I'm
    still working but have a pretty flexible schedule, and I still find that my limit
    is about 20, and that many only if a couple are being worked on. I presently
    have 23, and that's why I've got four in Auburn Spring this year- a really
    tricked-out restomod '59 Skyliner, a '50 Merc lead sled, a '29 Model A Roadster,
    and my '99 SP360 Shelby Durango.

    As for limiting the number of cars that I want- well, that list is long and
    distinguished, and I doubt if it will ever be complete.

    Have fun,
    Mike Heroy
