June 17, 2009 5:13 p.m. P71 SuperDork
Reading Per's Classified Ad on the Neon and Bryce's math made me wonder. What do you GRM'ers currently have as residing in the space of your garage/driveway/neighbor's house?

Here at Casa de Kelso we have:
- 2001 Ford P71 CV Interceptor
- 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT
- 1983 Mazda RX-7
- ThunderCougarFalconGoat's 2005 Pontiac GTO (he's in SC for 2 weeks on work training)
- Hummer H2 PowerWheels
- Road-legal ~35MPH electric scooter
- AMC 401 on a stand
At John's there's usually the GTO along with his:
- 1982 Mazda RX-7
- 1983 Ford TBird Turbo Coupe
- Ford 302 on a stand
I have room (and permission) for one more here as soon as John gets back and I'm trying to fill it with something the 401 and the T5 to go with it.

When the girlfriend gets home you can add a 2001 Hyundai Accent.

1970 Volvo 142S holding down the fort until I find sell the house. Shameless plug for the house I'm selling! At my new apartment I have the 2006 Miata and 1991 Volvo 945t, plus all the neighbors E36 M3boxes. The Volvo here will be for sale soon to raise cash for new projects. Like eating. Double bills waiting for the house to sell really, really sucks. I sold 2 70s VW Busses and 2 VW Type 3s before I moved.Somebody buy my damn house so I don't need to sell more cars!!!

- Basil, the 1967 Land Rover
- The 1966 Cadillac
- Brutus the 2000 Toyota Tundra
- the trailer :)
- the Targa Miata
- the doomed 1998 Z28 of doom
- Janel's work truck
- 1972 MG B GT, waiting for the drivetrain out of the Camaro
- The Seven (my Locost)
- 2000 Jeep Cherokee (Janel's first new car, called The Princess)
- Janel's turbo 1990 Miata

There's a parts car MG coming here as soon as the Z28, umm, disappears.

In driveway:

-1998 Subaru Impreza. Normally my DD, but for now it's taking up space while I figure out what's wrong with it/what to do with it.

-1987 Mazda RX-7. Toy pressed into DD service.

-2004 Buick Rendezvous. Dad's car.

-2001 Ford ZX2 A/T. Sisters' car.

-1996 Ford Taurus wagon. Used to dad's DD, but it's been dead since 2000. We use it as a storage shed.

In garage

-1968? Olds Cutlass convertible. It's my uncle's old toy. It's been there for ~15 years now with a blown engine. My family wants to get rid of it because the garage is too narrow for parking and would be better off as storage space, but since it's Uncle's car we can't do anything about it. I'd love to restore it, but that takes more $$$ than I can budget for it.

In my micro garage mahal are:
- 1978 Jaguar XJ-S (Cool looking car I don't see often)
- 2002 Honda Accord SE (wife's car)
- 1998 Plymouth Neon Competition Coupe (DD - no AC, no PS, no navigation, no sound deadening, no power windows, no power locks, nothing but fun.)
  I figure a locost car is next, I can build it to fit in the shed.

and thinking about adding something else that is better on gas but something would have to go since there is only so much room...

(how do some of you own so many cars and why? and i am thinking of cutting down my tree...)
June 17, 2009 6:47 p.m. Nashco SuperDork

My signature is mostly accurate. I have two '88 Fieros, the other is a GT I've had for many years but has been sitting, largely ignored, for years. It is getting an engine swap after the $2009. That was part of my new year's resolution.
