Hi 1600
I read your post and tend to agree things are getting a bit too detailed
However one thing I thought I'd raise is my current micro fleet (2 cars) and where I want to get to...because I tend to wonder about this quite a lot..and you guys in the land of milk and honey always crack me up, F250 super duty's etc...don't get me wrong I'd have one in a flash..
(Sorry this has been done before, I read a great thread like this on the M5 board a couple of years ago)
Now
545i wth Schnitzer kit
Ford Territory SUV (for kids and bikes)
Future Fleet
M5 (I was thinking of down sizing, but followed an M5 today and relised I was thinking rubbish - its got to be done!)
X5 3.0 Diesel (kids etc)
Ultimate goal to add
911 4S (just love these my neighbor up the hill has one arrrhh)
VW Van (those of you who mnt bike and windsurf will understand)
Golf GTI (many in the US?, several mates have these and they are so good around town and the SMG gear box is so cool)
Once the 8 car garage is in place:
Ferrari 250GT or similar in silver!
E30 325i track day car
I reckon I'd have it covered, thoughts?
Cheers

Current Fleet is as follows
2006 M5 (Mine) e60
2004 530i sport (WIfe) e60
2006 Z4 M roadster (Mine)
We have 1 daughter and expecting another. Wife is looking to trade in 530i for the new X5. Never thought about how or what i wish the fleet would or could be. It will be nice to have an SUV to drive soon.
I like the VW van have always wanted to have one for the above reasons mentioned...
