Taking the question seriously, the answer is when you have to pay for storage and the price of storage will eclipse the value of the car being stored in less than a year.

By the looks on his face, I suspect he was caught in the act trying to steal it...I'll bet he's inside Leno's garage.

Truthfully, the answer is when, well, uh...I got nothin'

Usually when the neighbors complain too much?

As for the pict, he just needs to have more than one keychain.

If you live in an HOA area with little parking space, that could be as little as 3-4. In my grandmother's historic neighborhood in Ontario, if you don't have a driveway or garage like half the houses there, it's one.

When you start having more than one car for each type of activity. Trackdays, autocross, cruise nights, work, camping, parts runs, etc. These all require a different vehicle.

Too much money, too much sex, too many cars-- imaginary concepts that are completely impossible in reality.

When you start using one of the non-operative cars for parts, tool or junk storage.

I'm totally baffled as to why would any legit car guy live in a neighborhood with an HOA. I know I wouldn't.

When the GF and I are browsing through house listings online, any whiff of a HOA is an instant pass on a place- and it's also why (along with a laughable definition of 'two-car garage') I tend to totally discount any place built after around 2000 around here as they're all in developments with HOAs...

I knew I had too many cars when my collection spanned two counties. I've since paired down.

When you have nightmare about cars you may or may not own but can't remember where they are parked.

When you don't have the time/money/patience/ or desire to maintain them all with time still left over to enjoy driving them. At that point you become "that guy" who won't sell cars that are slowly deteriorating when people see them and make reasonable offers to buy one or more of them.

Sadly, I have become an example of "that guy" even though I sold off almost 1/2 the vehicles I had 5 years ago I still have 9. Now that the collector car market is rebounding I should sell a few to reduce the burden. It takes a lot of time and money to keep up with a fleet. Even if they aren't used there's deterioration and necessary maintenance that costs time and money. Current fleet

Seriously, when I completely forget I have one (and buy another because I don't rememberer the first). And when I'm no longer enjoying play time because all I'm doing is maintenance and repairs.

I have to assume that's what any toyotanova does best...sits and rusts.

So, it's no fault of yours, really.

when do you know you've done too much blow in your lifetime?

when you try to open a VW with a skeleton key.
