Personally I also want a car collection but not that many cars, because when you have multiple cars of the same purpose what's the point? I prefer to bond with my vehicles. I think I could make do with just 4 cars in my collection:
1) Sedan-E39 M5 S3 to move 4 people
2) SUV-Porsche Cayenne Twin-Turbo for the wifey
3) Convertible Sports Car-BMW M6 Dinan Stuff
4) Off-Road/Tow Vehicle-Toyota Tundra V8 with TRD Goodies
Cars 1-3 would all take turns at the track, otherwise their potential is wasted  |
You are absolutely right about that. That is part of the reason I am selling two of them. It's just too many. I don't have time to drive them and I feel like Im wasting them. Kinda funny but here's how it works....
For daily driving I drive my truck and uncover either the M5 or CL65.
Then I'll uncover one of the three exotics and drive it couple times during the week. I'll usually do this for two weeks. And then rotate.
so if the first week is truck,M5,S7 the next week is truck,cl65,DBS and so on. It's kinda ridiculous actually! I have a detailer that comes to my house every other week to wash up 3 at a time not including the Escalade. The only thing I clean myself now is my sand rail
It's just hard not to buy something you love if you can afford it. When I was 6 I made wall to wall wallpaper of cars and hot rods I cut out of my dads magazine. My dad built hotrods when I was a kid and I have always been around cars. The only difference now is that I hate to wrench on them. I grew up middle class like most poeple and when I was 30 I started making good money.. so I bought cars.. lol
Im also not big into the flashy cars too much. I like the sleepers much more. Cars for me is about speed and power. Not being a suite showing up to dinner in a Ferrari. Actually, im kind of embarrased to drive them at times. I know it sounds odd but it makes you feel like your showing off.
My first car was a Datsun truck. It had the duel webber side drafts, cam, header, pistons etc.. lol It's was a peice but I loved it. It wasn't fast enough so I bought cheap power.. Street bikes.. I rode bikes for about 7 years. Ninja 600, CBR900, etc. I had my first CB6 600 build and to the roof and I went down two teeth in the front. I would smoke GSXR 1100's for breakfast. I use to go the street races in Onterio in the late 80's early 90's and race every week. The good times! Before it was over populated people would trailer in cars.. lol
My first exotic was a 02 Ferrari 360 F1 convertable.. I got that one year after the M5. But I hated it.. I was fun but I didn't like being in a fish bowl.

After that I got the S7 which was the first in Ferrari style red with the race wing, 4 pt belts, and 100hp upgrade. Then came the F430 which I recently put the 707hp duel supercharger Novitech on it. Bigger wheels, wing, hydrolic front end, suspension, etc.

Then the Aston came out and I had to get it.
I guess what Im trying to say is, I have a problem. Im addicted to cars.. lol
After the S7 Im consider selling the 430... but sitting in a F1 shifting car that weight just over 3k and has 700+hp it's almost impossible. That car is sick fast!
And to the EVO hater....
You have no idea how badass that car is. It's will have more HP than an S3 M5 has even before NOS. And it weighs 2000lbs less. That's like taking 10 people out of your car.
I'll have pics of it soon.
