I think you know the answer to that, keep them both.

dont you dare sell.
i really dont understand green, fugly in my opinion, but i love yours.
the shot you took overhead with fall leaves of your green RS... burned into my few remaining memory cells.

just add do not replace.

I love it, but how/where to store - I have a four garage now and no room to build more - Rent a warehouse - self storage?

Subterranean garage lifts and you could have 8 spots. There only like $50k each!

A good way to reduce the mileage that you put on a car is by buying another GT and driving multiple GT cars.

Yes. Then it becomes a business and has tax deduct deductable status. If you ever get out of a large car collection you then have a commercial building to rent or sell.

Thanks for the suggestions - The commercial building sounds like the next reasonable step, but I like having my cars close to me. I know a few car nuts that built houses out in the country and then built "car barns" - "garage - mahal" - very impressive

If you don't have the land to build on your property then find somewhere very close to home. If it is close enough it will not be an inconvience. Then just rotate the ones at home you can look at.
