Re: how many toys do you own?

I like having a lot of toys, but I'm always conflicted because I don't really enjoy wrenching on them. And ultimately the more you own the more you have to wrench. Here is my list:

2010 Infiniti G37x coupe - DD
2008 Eclipse GT - DD
1999 3000GT VR4
1995 3000GT VR4 Spyder
1995 Stealth R/T TT
2008 Toyota Tundra
2008 26 foot car trailer
2014 Mahindra Max28 tractor (Mitsu built)

I've started to seriously think about only owning what is still relevant, but I can't convince myself to sell my dirt bike or toy hauler... It would cost me more to buy another when it's relevant, so why bother if I have room to store these things?

Any regrets, other than your ex retaining your scoot?

Re: how many toys do you own?

No regrets for me selling any of my toys. Its easy to buy, hard to sell. Theres always a newer better model out there to want to get as well.

I do miss having a fun car though.

Zero. I find cars more fun than motorcycles; after having too many close calls I decided it was time to call it quits and hang up the helmet. Regarding the water toys...cheaper to rent a few weekends per year than it is own/maintain/insure/store. Plus, I don't have a tow vehicle at my disposal anymore.

Re: how many toys do you own?

Wooftah... updated mine with pics. Some of my toys have multiple modes: Summer/Winter/track/street/off-road >>> http://www.mitsustyle.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=13

I just got battery tenders yesterday, but am contemplating if I should really buy one for every battery :/ I'm thinking of using each tender between two batteries

Good call, I should edit my post. Everyone should get a toy hauler, purely for storage space!

A stand-up jet ski still remains on my want list, but I fear the odd engine I know nothing about. I've owned just about everything I've wanted, but want a RWD muscle car again. I'd love to burn rubber all over the city while dressed up like Smokey and the Bandit in an old Trans Am. The Evo lacks that kind of flair

I LOL'ed at jeremy1375's list.
