First, an intro. I'm a dude living in Atlanta who has found himself a collector of vehicles. I'm not some crazy rich guy who sought out the finest in underrated vehicles to excite and frighten the ladies. No, I'm a more of a guy with poor impulse control, a huge yard and nobody telling me to do otherwise.
When I was a kid I wanted a Corvette (to go fast!) and a Jeep (to go offroad!). This is what I ended up with:
Okay, so I kind of went a bit overboard on the offroad portion on the dream, and came up a bit short on the speed part, but I was just a dumb kid who loved "Corvette Summer". Mark Hamill's best work.
Anyways, back to the vehicles. Yes, these are all mine. No, they don't all run at the moment - more on that later. They all did run at the same time once, I swear. It was sometime after Chuck Norris jokes were funny but before Grumpy Cat won our hearts. And they will run again.
Soon.
Maybe.

Nice spread. At least you can haul the non runner around the yard with that Uni or the Cruiser (that I KNOW runs)

Land Cruiser, Unimog (want!), Hi Lux, Miata.
But I can't quite figure out what the sedan is.

Well if you ever want someone to take the Mog off your hands... I have poor impulse control too.

Is that a Cressida? Make this a priority. I'm guessing the ratio of your-other-cars-enthusiast sites to Cressida enthusiast sites is about 1,200:1. (Or is it a Corona? Neither?)

Poor impulse control, a huge yard, nobody telling me to do otherwise,self-awareness and poor impulse control.*
There, fixed it. Yes, poor impulse control makes it go full circle.

The Uni IS the non-runner and has been pushed AND pulled by the Cruiser. That Cruiser is a Bruiser.

I was looking for late 70's Cressida, but ended up in a late 70's Corona. Not nearly as fancy-pants nor inline-6'ed, but it was, you know, there.

I threaten that every now and again. That is another trait of poor impulse control. Sell sell sell! no no no! buy sell buy no!

Why do you hate America? Just kidding. Nicely done. Bad news though, I'm going to have to kill you and take your Unimog.
I have the same problem. Cars just kind of tend to accumulate on you, don't they? I'm up to 11.

You might want to wait til I get the Mog running before the murder. It'll make the get away slightly faster.

Good idea. Keep me updated.
Jeez, lets see. '07 Z06, '87 911 turbo look cabriolet, '04 M3, '97 528i, '01 528i, '09 Silverado, '83 K5 Blazer, '87 Suburban, '93 Explorer, '95 Bronco, and '70 VW bus. I think that's all of 'em.
