42 and I've had about 40 cars over the past 24yrs. Bought 3 in the last year, 2017 Mustang GT, 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and over the weekend a 2014 BMW 435I. It's probably about every two years I get rid of one and buy another and about every 4 years I get rid of 3 and buy 3. Normally try to keep 3-4 in the yard to drive.

I'll probably keep the gladiator, it's a perfect mix for me. My next purchase will be a Porsche 911 hopefully in the next 5-7 yrs. The wife will probably have at least 3-4 cars rotated in an out within that 5-7 year time. My next one will be my forever car.

is this just for your own use? or do you share these with S.O./family?

In the last 20 years, I've mainly had one truck. A '98 Tacoma I bought used in 2000. I still have the truck and selling it to get a Gladiator because I figure it's time for something new. lol

That said, I'm on my 4th bike in 30 years.

Wifey and I have had a few cars over the years though, we had Honda Civic for about 15 years. So yeah, getting a new vehicle every few years is not my problem. I almost see this truck as probably one of the last one's I buy given my track record.
