1982 Scirocco, I have personally driven it over 200K miles. I intend to keep it on the road indefinitely.
1987 Camry, ditto 100K miles ditto
1992 Subie Legacy, ditto 150K miles ditto
1988 M3, ditto, 50K miles, ditto
1972 MG-B, ditto, 50K miles, ditto

You get the idea.

1966 Plymouth Fury VIP (383-4 bbl), 91,000 miles, owned since June, 2009. Will probably keep it one more year or less (I have too many cars).

1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, 98,800 miles, owned since Sept., 2004. No plans on selling it. Will keep it for the foreseeable future.

1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine, 98,000 miles, owned since July, 1999. My favorite car in my collection. Will keep it as long as possible which means for a long time.

1995 Lincoln Town Car, 122,000 miles, owned since Oct., 2006. My "workhorse" car. And "economy" car (compared to the three cars above). It comes in handy; being reliable, comfortable and averaging 20 mpg. Don't plan on selling it, either.

The 1997 Escort commute beater (just to the park & ride) I'll keep until it needs a major repair, still OK at 165,000. The 07 4x4 Ranger gets much less use and I hope to keep it a long time. The 02 Liberty may be replaced within the next year or two despite having under 100,000 miles, for something like the Subaru Crosstrek, for better mileage, and still 4 wheel drive for snow.

How is 4 cars too many? After all, there are 7 days in the week. You will be kicking yourself if you ditch that Fury...

2010 Ford F-150 Platinum and will be trading over the summer or possibly late this year depending what strikes my fancy. Still up in the air as to what I even want whether it be a new F-150, the 2014 redesigned Caddy Escalade, or possibly a Mercedes M-Class SUV.

2008 Chevy Corvette Convertible and will be trading in for a 2014/2015 C7 Corvette convertible whenever I can get my hands on one without paying $10K of dealer markup.

Saw the new 2014 Mercedes S-Class though...if I know I wouldn't miss having a truck/SUV so much, I'd probably look at one.

Well, I don't drive every day. The last time I drove the Fury was about one month ago. And the limo has been sitting for about 3 weeks.

And only two can fit in the garage at one time. It's okay, though. Owning three cars is pretty good.
