    Oh, I didn’t think about having multiple cars. Are you a big car guy?

    I’m in my early 40s, and I’ve owned two cars. I bought my current car after the last one got rear-ended.

    Sidenote, I’m not counting cars that belonged to spouses or the car I drove in college – technically, that one belonged to my parents. If you add those in, I’m probably up to 6 or 7 cars.

      Obviously I’m a bit older than you but I had three identical first cars because two of them were basically bought to be parts cars after I wrecked the first one.

      I’m not really counting cars that belonged to spouses or significant others in the dozens of cars I’ve owned either (despite using an ex girlfriend’s car as the example of the one that “I” had stolen).

      But yeah, there’s been a number of times over the years that I’ve personally owned multiple vehicles… Sometimes as many as 3 or 4 at a time (not including motorcycles and mopeds that I’ve owned).

      Honestly, I can’t even imagine what it would be like having only owned two cars in my whole life.

      Typically, 5 years or so is about the longest I’ve owned any individual vehicle.
