that's a clean collection! handsome cars.. all good deals es0ecially that SL. They're going up in value.

Not bad at all! I was itching for another w124, but found 3 benzes for the price of at least one w124. I'll likely keep them because I've located some inside storage for them in return for doing a kitchen.

How many human drivers are there in your family ?
are all of your cars licensed and insured ?
Do you live out in the country with plenty of room to park them ?

Besides the GFs car, they are all mine and I'm the sole driver of the fleet. 3 cars registered, rest are projects/future drivers. I'm in a suburban neighborhood with an extended driveway and a fence. I have access to storage as well in a garage.

Yes, I am afraid you do have a problem...
but you won't get much support getting help around here ...
listening to people who also have those problems....
many only curbed by lack of storage or a loving family that likes to eat

For us its now just my wife and I home. So we have 4 cars and one Unimog truck with plates and insurance. But in the winter time all the Mercedes are parked due to all the salt on the roads. I still have my first car, (59' Austin Healey 100-6) in storage and three other Unimogs here at home. We have 5 acres, so plenty of parking spaces.

WOW that sounds like an excellent deal. Your problems don't come anywhere near mine though. I lost count at 80 cars. I need so go out and actually inventory all mine, not sure what all I got in the back 40.

Nice deal! I pay more than this, per car, for my parking spaces.

John , you sir have a collection! Are they all MB? I'm coming up your way in the summer and would like to get some parts if you any of those are parts cars.

you're right about that. if I'm not driving the car cause it is a project or isn't financially viable to insure and register what's wrong with if it sits in my driveway and I drive it around the block once a week?

80 cars currently? Wow! that's impressive.. I'd do the same provided space.

Wow!!! where do you park??
