Re: Does any body else have this condition?

Me too...lol I am eighteen (18) and am on my 3rd car already. My first one was a 2000 SS with an LS1, I had so much hatred for that car! Only had it for 3 months

Then I (my parents ;p ) picked me up a 1989 mustang gt. That was totaled, not my fault.

Now I am on my third. Its a 2003 mustang gt. I got it with 55k on it. Had the engine and suspension built at HPP Racing in Lewisville, Texas. The car makes close to 500whp n/a.

Hopefully I can get into a terminator one day!

Re: Does any body else have this condition?

I'm in college with no job... 19 with 1 car, given to me by my grandmother since my uncle gave her a new car. 1993 Lexus GS300. I plan on going through another 6 years of school an 4 years of low-paid "training" (aka I wanna be an MD). I plan on doing a standard 3 or 4 year vehicle rotation, I don't really get that excited over that many cars. 1 Porsche or M3/M5 every few years would be good enough for me =P lolol

All that is years and years away now, though.

Re: Does any body else have this condition?

I would like to have a new car every 6 - 12 months, but my like for money is much greater. Not cost-beneficial to turn over cars like that, as I believe the original poster acknowledged.

I choose to spend my money on other things that are more important in my life, including > 10% gross pay into retirement savings...

Re: Does any body else have this condition?

Wish I had the money to have that condition myself but I and probably a lot of others are stricken with the opposite condition where we keep our cars as long as we can keep them on the road

Honestly even after 7 years and 120K miles I still enjoy driving the Mustang as much as the day I bought her. Fortunately she has been rock solid reliable and still looks almost new...

Re: Does any body else have this condition?

Not only do I buy a lot of cars, I keep them. It's like I get attached, and don't want to let them go. In my household, there is only me and my wife. We have 4 cars: 08 Lancer, 06 Element, 02 Elantra, 73 VW Bug. Plus, we have a pretty nice utility trailer.

Heck, 2 years ago, one of my cars got struck by lightning, and all of the electronics were fried. My buddy said, "That sucks"...I replied with, "No it doesn't, as soon as they total it out, I can buy a new car to replace it."

The way I look at it is that we give to charity, save money, and have a 15 yr mortgage (vs 30 years). We gave up drinking years ago, don't smoke, don't gamble, and I don't hang out at the strip clubs. If I want to *accumulate* cars, there's a lot worse things in the world. And...all my cars RUN, so no old hoopties on blocks in my yard!!!
