Curious as to an "accepted limit" to the number of 914's one can have in his/her collection? or maybe I should consider therapy. For years I have been adding to my personal collection, but have never had the opportunity to sell anything, or maybe it's ageing.
What does your collection comprise of? |

Only enough garage room for one full sized 914, so fulfilling my craving with about a dozen Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.

For all those who love math, there is an actual formula derived from many many participants.
Optimal # of 914s = N+1 N = The # of 914s currently owned |

I was once told I must not like 914’s that much because I only have one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) we both got a good laugh out of it.

1 teener and one tub which equals 1 teener with very little rust. I've had a few parts cars come and go, but only to keep my first one running.

Many good answers, currently I am on the fence with "N+1" and either between 9 and 14. Garage is getting filled and wife has never discouraged my "hobby"
Great answers BTW, does anyone use Carfax? |

I should have maintained that ratio as the houses got bigger. |

Total Production: 914-4 = 115,596
Total Production: 914-6 = 3,360 Total Production: 916 = 11 118,967 = Grand Total. You don't want to be greedy, so less than half. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) 59,483 for you. And 59,484 for everybody else. |

We have 3. I want another one... a track car. Betty says we don't have garage space for another one... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Priorities, .... is the yard large enough for a garage addition? We only live once There is just enough room between the garage and the back fenceline for a parking pad. I can't push the garage to the property line, that is the utility locations. I could push it back into the back yard, but that would block the window to the breakfast nook. I wanted a large hanger with a small apartment in it, but nooooooo.... she had to have a house in suburbia. I even have to park our trailer at a local storage facility. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I really can't stay angry. She is a 914 person through and through, and indulges our obsession.
