No you must get addicted to drugs to have people ready to help you.

If your addicted to autos they just sneer at you.

Look on the bright side, you can spread the mileage over several vehicles so they will last longer..One for everyday of the week is good. (We've got 5 licensed)

Wasn't the plan but rather an evolution.

Currently,

1977 F-150 4X4 351 / C-6 (since 1986)
1992 Ford Thunderbird Sport 5.0 (since 2006)
1995 Ford Thunderbird LX 4.6 (since 2008)
2001 Mercury Grand Marquis (since 2001)
2003 Subaru Forester 2.5X (since 2007)
2007 Ford F-150 FX4 Scab Flareside (since 2009)

Sold the 1985 Ford Thunderbird w/5.0 we had since 1986 in 2009 after getting the 07. Got crowded here.

My fleet and array of tools keep me out of trouble...

In response to GLR above, I can attest to spreading the mileage around... My 01 PT just crossed 40K.

Only problem is that after about 15 of them, you start to run out of yard space.
