I also do the multiple (old) car thing but for me its more for the enjoyment of building them and novelty of driving them. With the Raider and all my Starions/Conquests I'm guaranteed a conversation at the gas station which is kinda cool. Maintaining and building the cars are a "release" for me too from work. The SQ's are under collector insurance (SUPER cheap) and the Raider costs nothing in insurance so keeping them is a no-brainer. Also, they all run on Megasquirt and get really good gas mileage.

Now, when I was running the engine shop, I didn't work on ANY of my cars for years. Cars were not an enjoyable when it was also my job.

Granted I have a 2011 F-150 FX-4 Ecoboost because I have to travel with work/hunting, but it's parked 95% of the time. Wait a minute...turbo cars, turbo Raider, turbo truck......maybe I have a problem <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
