Hi, my name is Don, and I'm a sharkaholic... (admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery right?)

In one year's time I've gone from 1 to 3. When I look at the combined TO DO list, it does seem overwhelming, but I have to say, I really like having at least 2, so that you can take one down for long repairs, or maybe it goes down on it's own, and still have one to drive and enjoy. I will probably sell one of my S4's eventually and get back to 2. I've been lucky enough to get into these latest cars pretty cheap, and I have the space, so right now, I'm having fun working on them as time (and funds) allow.

Unfortuanately I'm accumulating 928s, which are not a great teenager cars, due to gas consumption, insurance, and HP, just as my daughter turns 16 (I know they are safe and all that...). I could see her driving one of the S4's occassionally, and being able to handle it just fine, but if my daughter has access to one of the 928's at 16, my son will also want access in a few years when he turns 16, and we all know how boys are...especially boys that have grown up watching Jeremy destroy high dollar tires getting sideways on Top Gear, season after season.

I'm done, unless I win the lottery or fall into some unexpected wealth - then I would buy every one I could get my hands on.

I would open up a 928 junkyard...

When you wife keeps asking "when are you going to be done working on that car?" how could you possibly explain having more than one?

Sounds like you've ridden out the initial headaches on the impulse/bargain buy, and that it's taken hold....good to hear!

I'm definitely not looking

Well...wait...actually- CAPT Slow, drop me a line... "Fish On"?

The three little pigs of temptation;

Exactly what I want, or think I want. ***
Great condition.
Great price.

Has to be a perfect storm of all three because I would need to not just sell my current 928's, but likely sell them fast if I didn't want to be homeless.

***Exactly what I want wiggles some;
Color, White, champagne, Copper, not sure what else outside, and inside lt grey, cashmere, black accents, Pascha, others, but the combo would need to really work.
5 spd, unless its a stroker then At is fine.
No sun roof.
Early body, except for a GT.

I was there last year.. having two is much better than three Its less daunting, and easier to focus.
