Good vacations without cars?

Is 7 cars for 3 people justifiable?

• There's 3 people in my family (My parents and I). We have seven cars: Dad: 97' Jaguar xk8 00' Porsche 911 04' BMW 760li Mom: 11' BMW 650i (leased) 11' BMW 760li (leased) 03' Land Rover Range Rover Me: 03' Mercedes sl55 A lot of people have told me that my family having all these cars are ridiculous and a waste of money, but in reality they were all bought used and with the money we spent on them we could have maybe bought 3 new Hondas. People tell me that we should have put the money towards charity and stuff. My dad is a car fanatic; he uses the jaguar in the summer, the porsche is his 'track' car and the bimmer is his daily driver. My mom is a business woman, so she uses the 7 series when she meets and drives with clients and the 6 series is her weekend/joy car when shes not working. The range rover is more of a family car when we take vacations or bring the dog to the vet and stuff. Is this not okay? Why do people think we shouldn't have that many cars if their all used a lot?

• Answer:

  You got money, you choose to spend it on cars, what's the problem with that? Heck, Jay Leno supposedly has a garage FULL of cars ... way more than 7! For ONE driver. If he can own 20+ cars I guess your family canm own 7. If you can keep up the maintenance and lease payments, I don't care if the three of you own 100 cars! You don't need to defend or justify owning 7 cars. It's you right to buy anything you want with your money.
