How Many SA/FBs Do You Own?

Simple poll... I figure, I've seen quite a few people on here who have more than one FB or SA sitting in their yard, and I was curious as to how many you folks have

Unfortunately, my vote is limited to one.

Parts cars count if they have more than just a body left :P

Two for me plus enough parts to build a half of another one haha. Maybe a TII or FD will be added to the collection some time.

That's a tough call. I hear that the back of a 7 is a decent place to spend a few nights in.

Just the one '84 GS for me. So far, that is. The way I'm planning it right now, I want to end up with one of every major submodel released here in the states, i.e. an S1, an S2, two S3's (a 12A and an -SE), three S4's (N/A, vert, TII), three S5's (same as S4), an S6 R1, and an Rx-8. All in silver, of course, to match my existing car.

I like 357's idea... :P

As a matter of fact I, too, own a silver '84 GS, and want that exact collection :P

I've got 5. Only two are currently in running condition, unfortunately.

I'm looking at expanding that number to 7 here shortly, just need to figure out how to snag these two out of a field.

Currently 9, down from 12 a couple of years ago.
When I have one for sale I call myself a "restorer", when I don't, I am a "collector". I have had somewhere over 30-35 in the last 21 years.

83 S daily driver
83 GS is a project (needs lots of work)
83 Limited is the parts car, is still has an engine in it so it counts for this poll
Thats quite a collection you got there racermike, wish dear ol dad would let me turn our backyard into a parking lot, I'd love to have a ton of cars.

Yes! And it takes quite an effort sometimes to keep them from being seen by the authorities. They don't like unlicensed vehicles.

I know someone that has owned every rotary powered car from the RX-2 on (not simultaneously). He got addicted when he was able to see close-up a cosmo sport while in japan when it just came out.
