So How Many Cars do you Guys Have?

If it's that big of an inconvenience couldn't you just pick up a used Honda or Toyota for a couple grand to get you around?

 

If you live in an area that gets snow in the winter, then 3 cars makes a lot of sense:
- daily driver for going to work (typically a comfortable sedan)
- AWD vehicle for winter (could be SUV, pick-up truck, or car), and
- exotic sports car.
.

 

I have 4 cars currently:

BMW e30 3-series
BMW e28 5-series
Porsche 911
Ferrari F355

I usually drive one of the BMWs to work everyday since I work in downtown dc.

 

I had a max of 4 I think at once.. but now just

Ferrari 360
Aston Martin DB9

I work from home most days now (for now) so I only use the cars for meetings errands or just fun.. in philadelphia right now it only snows a few days a year it seems to AWD isn't that much of a necessity, the aston as seat heaters

 

I would easily say that 99% of people with exotics have another car as their daily driver, but having two daily drivers? not sure why you would want 2 lol

 

At one point we had a G35 Infiniti, Mercedes SL convertible, Cadillac Escalade, two Porsches, and my Audi A8L. It was too much. Between insurance, gas, remembering when the cars needed to be registered, etc. Now we have the 430, the same escalade, a G37, and my DD, a 750Li. Much easier to manage. I'm looking to pick up an 87-89 Carrera to play with during the summer.

I don't think exotics can't be used everyday, but I think the specialness would wear off. How could it not? It's like wearing a very nice watch all the time. Eventually it just becomes a watch.

 

I have one daily driver and two weekend/funcars. I live at a ski resort so I have to have 4wd and prefer a truck because of the ground clearance but if I lived in a warmer climate I would be daily driving something fun not a truck.
I decided to commute with one of my fun cars this week and I really don't enjoy it I prefer having the truck I'm just too worried about something happening to one of my cars.

 

It's best to have a beater, whatever that may be for you?

 

Baseline:

Daily driver
Weekend/nice weather convertible
Race car.

Others:
Other family members' cars
Other collection?

 

I drive my 430 to work about once a week if the weather's nice, and my Dodge the rest of the time. If the Dodge had to go to a shop for a few days, it wouldn't kill me to be stuck in a Ferrari every day during that time. Certainly wouldn't want to buy, insure, maintain and clean a 3rd car just in case of that eventuality. I'd rather sell the Dodge if/when it becomes unreliable and get a new DD.

So I guess I'd suggest getting a bulletproof DD.

 

Two cars here, none of them exotics.

Honda Fit for the fuel economy
Saab 9-2X Aero for the fun factor and AWD.

 

All of them.

 

I currently drive 5 of my cars to work every day, one for each weekday and consider all of them exotics, so there you go.

Monday: Audi R8
Tuesday: Aston Martin Vantage N400
Wednesday: Bentley GT Continental (also my long range driver)
Thursday: BMW S54 M Roadster (exotic on the count that only 1,500 were ever made)
Friday: Ferrari Friday of course

 

Currently down to just (3) {2 exotics and a daily driver} ---- which is the lowest amount I've had in quite a long time. I'm getting ready to make a big geographic move soon and have recently gotten "married" (for lack of a better term), so I am in the process of simplifying things and getting rid of some things in order to make the move more manageable . If I can sell it before the move deadline, one of the two exotics will be going away as well --- putting me down to only (2) cars, for the first time in my life since I was 24-years old !

 

'86 328GTS for sunny weekends
Merc E350 Daily driver (along with a Ford E350 panel truck for my business)
Toyota Sequoia for hauling kids around

I have a "spare" garage bay - had planned 2 years ago to populate it
with a DeLorean or Elise or something else fun - but have held onto the
cash since the economy tanked - hoping to fill that slot one day not
too far in the future.

Just wondering, do your employees and clients hate you?

 

Sweet stable.

Boxster for daily driving
360 for weekends
Porsche 928 for whenever else

 

Who needs a car? I can walk anywhere in town, except to Costco, and I can just hitch hike there.

 

I have a 430 spider for the weekends, etc. My wife drives a Lexus SUV and my daily is a 20 yr old BMW 525i given to me by my father in law. They bought it new.

My next car will be a 997 turbo coupe which will be my daily. The 430 will stay. The auto graveyard beckons for the BMW.

 

I have one car, a boxster. I don't feel the need for a third if I get a Ferrari. Of course my parents have five cars, my fiancé has three, and my brother an suv and a motorcycle, so it's not too much trouble to get a loaner.

Pickup truck, old vette, Ferrari, Peterbilt

 

I have a total of four:

Trans Am - first car I ever bought, so I keep it for the connection I have with it

Expedition - hauling crap and bad weather daily driver

Escape - Wifes car

Ferrari - kinda used as a daily driver right now just because I can and the weather is nice

I don't believe in the "drive a crapbox during the week to save your nice car", so I bought a nice car to use every day (MB s-class with AWD) and the 993TT for weekends.

I park at the train station about a mile from my house, so theoretically a vespa would do, but both of my cars have been so reliable that I've not had any issues.

the 993 is not an exotic in any sense, so if I need to use it for something, I do.

I think 2 cars easily covers it, so long as one is not like a resto project or really ancient.

 

3 is great

BMW 750LI (Daily)
Range Rover Sport (Wife)
F430 (Toy)
