Hi, welcome to the club, I left out my motorcycles, atv and snowmobiles. My list is similarly large to yours, and yes, we have a problem.

Lol.. Not only do I have a vehicle problem, it often seems like a Noah's Ark theme, two Jeeps, two trucks, two Harleys, driveway is only so big, so one motorhome, although discussions are floating around about building an expedition style motorhome on a Peterbilt chassis. Just keeping the fleet fed and maintained is a part time job. Keep talking about downsizing, but never seems to happen

All my motorized vehicles are on my Insta feed #OverlandRS. I have pretty much drove FWD hatchbacks exclsively since the mid 1980's. Two of them were AWD, and there may have been a sedan convertible, a rotary sports car in there, and a couple vintage french rally cars. I did spend allot of school breaks in a Ford Econoline pop top camper 2WD that went everywhere and anywhere. I am driving the FocusRS now and have been since 2017. Before that I drove two Mazda 3 hatchbacks a MS3 and a Touring 2007-2017. My hatch backs have been everywhere: on road, offroad, drag strip, autocross, road racing, rallycross, Forest roads and back country, PanAmerican Adventure rally, Mexican Adventure Rally, Canadian Rally. I also have allot of bicycles.

We had a 34ft Marine Trader Trawler like this one. I cannot find photos of it on my computer. They must be on another HD somewhere. We rebuilt the rear berth and made it wider and put a deck on the Arse end of it. Was beautiful on the ocean. One of the best boats in the marina for heavier seas.

this.... ^^^^ will be my next life or retirement.... over water. Just need to commit to cutting all those 4WD and land based community committment ties We are our own worst enemies to change.

My first vehicle in Grade12, 1972 was an M38 Flat Fender Willys???? Military Jeep. Same Jeep, kinda, my Unlce drove in Europe in 1944 when all "Jeeps" were Government Issued.

Maybe change is not in our destiny..... I've owned Jeeps since 1972.... maybe the ties to my Uncle, William Bentley, overpower any will of mine, William Aflred. I only found this picture after he passed in 2012. Makes one wonder about destiny.
