We had 3 drivers and 4 cars until my son moved out, now 2 drivers and 3 cars. I'm looking for a specific classic to buy soon, which will put us at 4.

1 driver 3 cars

I encourage every household in my family to have an extra vehicle.

One thing my family learn early in life when we first came to the US. We can't /wont/don't rely on anyone to give us a ride or use public transportation.

3 drivers, 3 cars.

Sometime in 2015 we'll have a 4th driver and possibly a 4th car depending on how we figure things out. I'd prefer not to get a 4th car right away!

2 drivers, 2 cars.

2006 Acura TSX that just ticked over 120,000 (bought in december, 2005).
2010 Subaru Legacy that's just over 74,000 (bought in June, 2010)

I can see us keeping the Acura as a 3rd car to take the brunt of commuter miles if/when we buy/lease a newer car.

I don't know where Experian got that number, but the number of vehicles per household has been dropping and is now below 2.

I used to have an extra (older) car and would feel guilty not driving it. Every time I went outside I felt like I was just wasting money. Don't know how people deal with having a fun car. Just drive the fun car all the time unless you need to haul stuff!

2 drivers, 2 cars now.
