Ever run of of vehicles ?

I am down to one truck...1991 V3500 Crew Cab that is running great. I wish I had a Hellcat to drop off for an oil change. I would change the oil myself. I do not trust anyone to touch my vehicles if at all possible.
Actually the Hellcat is the only car i have had that i take back to the dealer for service.
 
Dropped the hellcat off for an oil change and got a ride home, wasn't really thinking about it until i realized that even thou i have 5 cars and 2 bikes, everyone of them needs something, Crewcab has an oil leak, van is getting air conditioning fixed, Blazer just lives at the shop, Suburban is getting a new motor and chopper is in for leaking front fork. man if something happens to my BMW bike i'm just going to go sit down in the pool and have a beer,
Humm maybe i should just do that anyway :)
Well at one point I had 35 vehicles and none was newer than 1984, and my only running vehicle and daily driver was my 76 k5 wheeler.
And one day I broke my 203 tcase when the chain broke and bound up and broke the housing.
I went after work and got a tcase from pnp and spent the night replacing it and went to work with it the next morning.
Now I am down to 14 vehicles and 7 run, but 4 are registered and insured.
Working on getting the moped registered and insured to be my small parts runner and make it 5 vehicles available.
I just need 2 for my wife and I but, i just gave my sister who is visiting for a month a car, and my other sister will be here end of the week.
My newest now is my wife's 2015 Nissan rogue.
 
I have 4 vehicles. The K5 will soon be drivable, and could be used for backup if need be. The wife's Tahoe stays in perfect condition at all times. It takes priority over everything as it's my wife's and the family transport vehicle. The Crew Cab and Harley truck go back and forth as DD's for me. If one is broke, I drive the other. If they are both working, I rotate every other week. If they are both broke down (which I try to not have happen because I fix what ever is broken asap incase the other one poops), then I usually go grab a spare lawn truck from Pop's shop, which is some form of a 3/4 ton GM gas truck. I also can usually count on my brother's 1997 3/4 BBC truck, but that one really hurts with wallet with MPG's (but is currently down due to a rear main leak that is quite horrible).
 
I have three registered and on the road right now. My wife's 13 Malibu that has a park brake issue I need to look into. My Xterra that I lost the cam sensor on this weekend and pulled the t-case to fix a leak and the cats to replace them. And my 00 K2500 CC that has 294k on it, leaks a little oil, needs the steering system replaced and is possibly losing the master cylinder.

My Dad offered me his CC 1/2t the other day. As much as I like my K2500 it would be nice to have a newer vehicle that doesn't need as much attention. If I could get a break from working on the Xterra I could address most of the issues with my truck though.

Yeah, it's always a matter of time to keep up with the vehicles.
I have my big rig that takes most of my time since it's my livelihood and I spend a lot of time driving too.
That's why I got my wife a new vehicle and I have 2 vehicles I can usually manage to keep one reliable and the other as backup.
When I worked in an office I had more time which is why I acquired so many projects.
