How many is too many?
Discussion
We were at 7 but decided to thin the herd and are now down to 3. Saved a bit come insurance renewal, although 1 of the 3 seems to account for every spare penny no matter what.
I'm a firm believer in rewarding oneself for hard work, so if you can afford eleventy vehicles without a negative impact on others, then crack on and enjoy!

Too many is when you spend more time taxing, insuring, servicing, cleaning & shuffling them on the drive than you do driving them.
I look forward to having enough cars to not care about multicar policies being more expensive, having a garage pick up a car for a service without worrying about whether there will be one left for me, getting someone in to valet them and a barn to keep them all in.I'm currently at 17, of which 15 are on the road, the other 2 are currently being restored. 2 are currently being used by friends due to unforseen circs.
I'm in the fortunate position of having a lot of room to store my cars (massive old agricultural shed), and my job allows me to turn up in whatever car I feel like using. I can take a different car every day.
It sounds like a lot, but I'm sure that there are members on here who own a few cars which will be worth more than my whole collection!

I've only got four. Because that's all I have space for. Otherwise there would likely be more...
I have an electric car to make my commute cheap. It will be FREE in one more year.
I have a stty old estate car for lugging crap around, and going on winter/autumn journeys and holidays.
I have two two seater sports cars because my wife and I couldn't agree on just one.
All of them paid for long ago. All of them owe me nothing by now.
Got to replace the stty estate soon, though. Want a 4WD to make winter easier to deal with.

Is there something else behind the Citroen? 5, that barely scratches the surface; biggest problem nowadays is keeping up with ins/ved/mot(where applicable) renewal dates.
I would have thought more than 30 was possibly too many, as you can't even drive a different one every day of the month
I currently have 4 (Daily, trackday car, classic and old daily that will soon be breaking for parts) plus a trailer; I do not think that this is a problem but my landlord is not impressed.
imo if they are running they are A-OK; if they are all projects and your place looks a mess then it is time to finish some projects before buying any more
