Today I’m taking a road trip up historic Route 66 on the way to Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch, a strange and intriguing
My car hoarding problem tends to come and go in waves. At my worst I had 13 cars at once, which was horrible. I got it down to 6, and now I’m back up to 9, which is not great. I like to experience all sorts of automobiles—from weird, forgotten obscurities from the ‘80s and ‘90s, to sports cars, to odd JDM imports, to cheap beaters, and off-road toys. Buuuuuut there are only so many projects one person can handle at a time, so all of this leads to just a tiny bit of mental anguish!
Today let’s talk about what I’ve currently got in the fleet, what I should probably sell, and why owning a bunch of needy old cars can be fun but is mostly pretty dumb. 😭
In order to keep the video from getting too long I didn’t talk about my ’16 Prius, because let’s be honest a lot of you don’t care about the most reliable and most efficient vehicle in my fleet! I also chopped out the sections where I talked about the cars I’ve recently sold. So please say farewell to my ’86 Mazda 626 DX and my ’88 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V! 🫡

This is my 2000 WiLL Vi that I imported from Japan last year, and it’s quite possibly the weirdest car Toyota has
We develop an almost irrational loyalty to cars we’ve owned during significant chapters of our lives. Over time they become a symbol
