I’ve been kicking this around all day and have yet to come up with an answer I’m satisfied with. The greedy bastard, will have enough projects to last until the end of my natural life answer is:

(1) daily driver 914-4
(2) stock 73 2.0L clean and original
(3) 914-6 real or conversion, 2.7-3.0L
(4) V8 conversion
(5) Dedicated track/autocross car

I’m sincerely trying to talk myself into keeping it down to three total, but I’m not having much luck. I currently have 5 solid cars and two parts cars. Add that to the other projects, and it’s a total of 15 cars, plus our two daily drivers, or 17 total. I think it’s too much to manage when you consider how much time it realistically takes to build a car.

If I sold off a bunch of it, I could have probably kept the 914-6 that I’m just finishing up the restoration on, but it’s already sold. The other option would be to sell out and buy one super nice $30k car, which would put me money ahead in the long run I’m sure. What do you guys think?

By the way, I'm at 5 now and always looking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Unfortunately, me too. It's an addiction, there really should be a 12 step program, but I guess I'd only be in denial.

My list:

1) Dad's Car 70 2.0 4, relatively stock looking, but with minor alterations (sideshifter, elec windows & mirrors, 914-6 struts, brakes, wheels, etc.)
2) Blue Car 72 daily driver, maybe someday to become AX car.
3) Yellow Wide Flared roller car V8 car just waiting to happen (gotta finish the others first, and hope somebody buys it off of me before I get to the actual buying of parts stage.

Then there's the Black car that I couldn't say no to when the guy that owed me money made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Too many cars? I think not. Not yet, anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
