5 to 1
Four have tags and insurance the other is a project. Yes I am divorced. Most women will not put up with this habit. And yes that is too much upkeep. Most of them are old. But you drive the one with the most gas in it. Wootdog

4:2 with the new Miata for the wife. Still have her '94 626 w/about 55K. My '93 Ranger 4X4 is my daily drive. '71 Cheyenne20 is for camping. Now that the Ranger's gettin' tired I'm thinking of getting a 71-72 SWB. But I need to do it while the wife's still excited about the Miata!

There is just me and my wife that drive as of now. She drives her truck. (that makes her ratio 1 to 1)
I am down to 4 vehicles right now ( my ratio being 4 to 1 ) My wife wont drive my vehicles (like I'd let her LOL) I look at it like this. If it doesn't piss off my wife, cost too much, and I have a place to park it then I'm getting another one. I think a good ratio would be 100 to 1 give or take a couple.

9 vehicles counting the motor home. 2.5 drivers. The Geo is mine (100 mile comute), I traded my wifes '89 aerostar "eddie bauer"(sp) for the 3/4 ton burb [and she loves it]. BUT she says that I have too many trucks! I have three trucks she won't let me bring home until something goes!

2.5:1
My Wife swears that I can't have another vehicle. It doesn't matter that all but the Dart Run and thats a pretty indepth restoration. Ah what does she know. If it were her choice I would drive a Fo*d. Its a good thing that I love her and can look past her flaws.

Let's see...... I have 5, my wife has one and my daughter has one but it's still early in the car cycle (this is the time I give a car to live while under the control of my daughter) so I might have to add another to the list before long......kids, got to love them!

Only 1:1 for me
Of course i am only 19 and have a hard enough time keeping my '72 on the road....no way i could afford a second vehiicle, lol. Although i would love something that actually gets halfway decent gas mileage....my '72 likes to drink premium fuel at an alarming rate, which gets a tad bit expensive to say the least

N2TRUX,
The Malibu is what I'm building her to take the place of the van. 17" Rallys, 2" drop all around, cowl hood, and soon a 383 TPI motor with a 700r4 tranny. I told her instead of spending silly cash for a new vehicle, I'd spend 10-15k and make a station wagon I would enjoy driving once in a while. My dad and I decided we need to buy a place together where we can just hide our toys and not have to tell them about it. I wonder how a divorce attorney would look at that.  Nik |

We just made it 3:1 at our house. Only my wife and I drive.
1968/1969/1970/1971/1972 Chevy truck (Johnny Cash like) 1971 Malibu convertable 1972 Malibu hard top 1994 Ford Escort (201,xxx miles - GREAT car) 1998 Ford Explorer (99,xxx miles - great car crappy engine 4.0l SOHC) 2004 Ford Explorer (picked it up a week ago. V8 - hopefully fixed the '98s problems with a different engine) I would have traded the '94 or the '98 on the '04 but the trade in was next to nothing on them.
