It's funny you say that you hate getting rid of cars. I still own fifteen of the cars on my list. My wife and I were just talking about reducing the fleet a bit, but I have a sentimental attachment to every one of the cars I own. As we went through the cars a few weeks ago, I kept saying "Oh, no honey, I'll never get rid of that one because..."

The one thing that may push me to sell some of them is that I'm out of garage space to store any more and there are still others on my wish list that I haven't owned yet.
