Here I am 72 years old and I find myself still wanting to experience one more automobile . I know I don't need any of them but they just seem to appear . I have 10 and only drive 3 or 4 some of the time , so what I have decided is to hold the line at 10 , meaning in order to get one more , 1 of the 10 must go so.... 2 days ago I bought a 32 highboy roadster , never had a highboy , did have a 33 full fender roadster years ago with an Ardun but I let it go so now the highboy is on its way and I'll wait until my son comes for Xmas to help me decide which one is on the block , I am leaning towards the red 65 fastback K model Mustang , have to see what he thinks !

sounds like a delightful dilemma, wish I had the same. Just a thought, I have 6, 4 toys and 2 full time drivers. After growing up with me, my children (3) successful adults now, are car hounds and love them too. I'm a bit younger at 69 but already decided when it's time to begin to down size, (maybe never) but when ever the kids know their names are on the toys. Keeps'em in the family! they seem pleased with the idea.

I read an article recently where a very wealthy collector sold off all but 2 or 3 cars so he could get into drive them like he originally intended. His son also helped hi work through it.

I only have two, and I don't drive them as much as I should. Selling one to make the other the tops has crossed my mind. But I'd own thousands too if I could.
