in the last 3 years I've had 11 cars. (covid slowed me down lol). best year (or worst depending on how you look at it) was 7. I usually average 3-4 cars a year. sometimes that can mean running 2 cars and swapping out a second car regularly or just swapping out the daily every few months or every 9-10k.
