You know the old criticism. "Oh, he's just buying that because he's having a midlife crisis." One : So what? Why is that a reason to dismiss a person's psyche so offhandedly. "Well I put a name on it, so his real life experiences and troubles aren't real. I mean, look, it happens to everybody, so who cares when it happens to him?" He does. Have some empathy. Sympathy even; it's easier to FAKE. Two : Really? Did you ask him? Did you really step back and look at what he is doing, his stated reason, his personal circumstances? Or did you just apply the keen understanding of the human condition and economics you garnered by reading the covers of Popular Psychology at the grocery check out? Three : Isn't it really more plausible that he always wanted one of those, but put it off in order to save up, start a family, support that family and be a good person fulfilling his duties, obligations, and commitments and now, now that he has reached a time when his experience has him earning more, his children are becoming autonomous now, he can afford to indulge that itch that has always been there. Isn't it really not a sign of "midlife crisis" but rather "midlife accomplishment". And isn't it interesting that the attested evidence from actual old men here is "yeah, I'm giving up/ramping back on the cars"? Isn't it interesting that the default "let's unthinkingly denigrate men" meme may be baseless on its face?

Same situation. I had 2024 GT3, 2021 Targa 4, 2023 911T, 2023 C8, 2023 Panamera 4 hybrid executive, Tesla cyberbeast, 2023 GTS Boxster, 2006 Chevy SSR, - and I recently came to the same conclusion as Doug. Just dealing with all the oil changes is annoying. And I spent an entire day from 10 am to 9 pm just washing all these cars. Keeping the batteries charged and just finding the darn keys- or moving cars to get one car out. And almost every one of them has a little issue that needs fixing. And what happens none of them get used much and I don’t get to enjoy them. In fact - even the decision on which to drive to a cars and coffee becomes a dilemma - so I end up finally getting them all washed and in the a/c garage and I have sorted through the nine covers and figured out which cover goes with which car and I am relieved- all washed and with their cover on - all at once- and then I find I only drive my 2015 Chevy hd2500 work truck because using any of the special cars will start the burden of washing cars and covering cars and hooking up charger cords, so I become just a caretaker of nine sleeping cars- and I can’t see them even as they are all covered and also there are two lifts - so two of them are covered and eight feet of the ground so to use those is really annoying as it requires moving other cars and dropping a car down and and backing it off the lift which requires an annoyed wife to come out to the garage and spot for me which is never something she likes to do. Usually a tif starts when I raise my voice and ask her not to just stand there with her arms crossed and actually provide some guidance and reassurance that I am not about to damage a $250,000 GT3 as I back off the lift runways. Then she walks off in a huff and I have to promise a nice lunch if she comes back and helps. I thought my adult kids would be thrilled to go for rides or we would take several cars on a drive up a country road together. But nope, they are not supportive of their 73 year old Dad spending their inheritance on cars they don’t think I need and that this frivolous expenditures of money would be better spent if I paid for a grandkids braces or taking the extended family on a vacation. so this teenage wish to own a lot of cool cars - like a baby Leno, is not the thrill I once expected. Also it pisses off your friends as well- they get a little jealous and they think you’re just a show-off and that is off putting of course. Last week I took the 911 T to a dealer for the first year oil change and my wife follows in my Panamera so we can head back home while the car is worked on. I end up talking to a salesman who asks if I ever considered selling either or both cars? Says he will get offers from their sales manager in just a few minutes as the cars are there. So I say sure why not -“get me the offers” out of curiosity. Fifteen minutes later - after a little back and forth I have sold two cars - drove home and got the spare keys- spent an hour searching the entire house for the second key for the Panamera which removed any regret rapidly for having agreed to sell both these cars. I deposited $250,000 back into my brokerage account yesterday and that felt really good also. It was fun to spec all my cars- to wait for them and to pick them up at the dealer and to look at all of them in the garage together/ but like the idea of having seven wives - it may not be better than having one special toy that you use and can enjoy, and keep clean and maintained. So selling a few more cars is going to take time. And effort and will again use up my free time which could have been used driving one car someplace fun. As an aside/ I put a deposit on the cyberbeast truck years ago- my number came up and I took delivery four weeks ago and it is the best overall vehicle I have ever owned and the only car my wife wants to drive any longer. My dog likes it too and I can watch movies or sing karaoke while my wife is in the grocery store! And the a/c is fantastic and it is faster than my GT3 or the c8 corvette and I never have to deal with the Costco gas pumps again. I forgot to mention with all these cars I am constantly sitting in line at Costco it seems getting more fuel. Buying new a slew of sports cars was a life’s dream but when I had the time and money - to build a little collection - it was not the cat’s meow as I thought it would be in actual practice. New plan is to keto the Targa and the Cybertruck - and well maybe the GT3. I love the gt3 - sounds wonderful/ I had the idea of myself whirring around a track every other weekend/ but I realized that the car was too perfect to beat up on a race track/ so it gets used to go to club drives or to lunch and the Targa is just as good for those outings. And oil changes on the GT3 is $1,500- and mileage on the car eats away at its value rapidly. Anyway- Doug is right. Been there and done this car buying thing is not all fun - and eventually I came to the same conclusion as Doug has, that the burden of time and mind energy of a slew of cars is not something that is as enjoyable as expected. Did I mention above - losing $65000 on the Panamera was a reality check also. They don’t all appreciate either. Then there is the endless insurance premiums - and … you get the idea. Besides I have to spend this morning checking the tire pressure on a zillion tires … I am at the same frame of mind as I was when I decided to marry a gal - one gal eventually seems okay…

I don’t think it’s possible for most people to truly “regularly” use more than 4ish vehicles; once you’ve covered commute/errands, road tripping with or without kids along, and purely fun driving, and maybe towing, you’ve covered most of your miles. More vehicles means you’re subdividing one of those uses across multiple cars.

I totally get this -- at some point I realized more money and more cars wasn't making me any happier and was actually becoming a burden. Upkeep and making sure I had safe conditioned storage was always a chore, and I wasn't ready to make the leap to build a giant steel building to go big time (on a rural property, permits, construction, well, septic, electrical service, etc are no joke -- it would be like building another house). I am down to 3 non-essential sports cars (1987-2020 vintages) that all have safe storage and I have one free garage bay where I can actually do workshop stuff. That makes me pretty happy. I still shop around and follow auctions, but my offers/bids stop at the sensible level. A car will have to be a really good deal to make me go for it nowadays. This may change after I retire but for now I found a nice equilibrium.

Hi Doug. I’ve been following you for several years and I’ve always enjoyed your reviews and commentary. As a 70 year-old retired doctor, Your remarks about not wanting to pursue and acquire more cars (at least for the moment) particularly resonate with me. Having owned probably a couple dozen cars over the years , I eventually developed formula for potential satisfaction with a car. It’s sort of like a calculus equation if you plot satisfaction on the vertical access and price on the horizontal, what I found was that as price goes up from zero your satisfaction and also tends to go up but at a certain point the satisfaction levels off and becomes horizontal even though the price continues to rise. ultimately as the price approaches infinity, satisfaction approaches zero. Reason for this is that as the price becomes astronomical, you have little or no tolerance for defects. Since nothing made by man is perfect, well, you get my drift. Anyway, love you love your excellent commentary keep it coming! Mark S.

I feel the same way. At one point a couple years ago I had 3 cars, 2 of which were a 2013 Jaguar XK-R and a kitted out 1980 Camaro. I ended up selling both for many of the reasons in this video. The registration hassle, not everyone wants to work on them, and even just the general maintenance like keeping them all charged, gassed up, oil changes, etc, it just becomes a bother after awhile. I feel so much lighter in my life after getting rid of 2 of them. Now I just have 1, and I'm happy with that. For now.

Doug you nailed it with the old specialty cars and how stressful and expensive they can be. I have a 1968 230 SL Mercedes with a mechanical fuel injection. The first reputable shop diagnosed the pump but did not want to touch it. The second shop, sent out for rebuilt but couldn’t dial it in right. The third shop was finally able to get to run perfectly.

This is the exact point I am in my life. Had 13 high end/classic cars, and it's been fun, but it's so much work! I'm downsizing to 4 of my favorites (and waiting on a GTD allocation as the final addition). And I plan to enjoy the ones I have a lot more, where before it was more about which one I had to get to the mechanic to work on next.

Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source. Consulting a certified financial advisor can offer tailored strategies to optimize financial results by reducing expenses and enhancing income, regardless of whether it's earned through employment or investments.

As a 50 year old with children and grandchildren I can tell you that I own one vehicle. Its a 42 year old ford shitbox F100. It just hit 50k miles, has an inline 6 and 3 speed auto. I take it fishing. I take it to the grocery store. I take it camping. I laugh at the concept of door dings. Its unique enough that I can find it in the parking lot. Having a useable car that is stress free is worth its weight in gold.

Totally get this. In my early early 40s now, married with two elementary age kiddos. I spent my late 20s through 40 with a WRX and then a manual 228i with all of the “M options” checked. At 40 I switched over to a Tacoma PreRunner. I miss having a sporty car, but at the same time a paid off 4-door truck is perfect for this stage of life. I plan to get back to it though, when my daughter hits 16, she gets the Tacoma and I plan to pick up a base Carrera (a decades long dream at this point) - but I’m not in a rush to get there either though, that time will be here soon enough. For now I’m enjoying having young kids; they’re an adventure (heck of a lot of work) of their own! 😅

Watching this makes me respect Doug more then I already do, you've got your core cars that you love and use and you have the maturity to stop there, yes when the kids get older, window shop if you want and maybe buy something special. Dad and I used to do that back when Autotrader was a magazine. What you do with driving and reviewing vehicles and only buying what you truely love and actually using it makes me respect you over those other channels that just have cars for "content" and all they do is good and show off.

He’s so strategic. He can now forecast the amount of views he’s going to get when he buys a new car. Fast forward 2 years, he’s going to break the car world internet with his next purchase. He can rake in millions if it’s a behind the scenes sponsored purchase too , but he has too much integrity for that kind of deal. Or if C&B did a promo where Doug will officially buy his next car from one of us. The website traffic will be crazy… not that it needs that kind of spike. Or he purchases a dealer network and buys from himself. The options are endless. I argue that Doug is the smartest and most business savvy car KZbinrs. 🎉
