Where do you keep (at least?) 14 cars?

Six are in garages, none of my new cars are...lol. The rest are outside,
mostly under car covers. My wife says I can not use over 1/4 of the
property for car storage, so I still have an acre or two left I can use. I
did not list my parts cars, figure at least one parts car for every one that
is road worthy. You must remember that most of these are not show cars, in
fact only one has ever been shown, but just good examples I have managed to
collect. Also, the fact that I am in the desert, and really have nothing
but wind and sun to worry about, makes it very easy to keep a car outside.
I have, however, looked at putting in a steel building for the top 10 or so
cars, dragging my heals on that just a bit.

This is an addiction, not an investment. Been feeding this addiction for
something like 25 years, going on 26. Got my first Triumph in late 1978, it
was a 1979 model Spitfire. Not the 79 I have now though.

Now my youngest daughter thinks of American Iron. She just (at 15) got her
first project, a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker. She is eyeballing a 1932 Ford
Model A that the same people she got the New Yorker from still have. I told
her not until the New Yorker is on the road, at which time she points to a
couple of my Triumphs and says, in a very teenage way, "It looks like you
have more than one project going at a time".
