you had more cars in college than i've had my entire life.
haha, and I had more cars than girlfriends thru college too. But I would fix them during the summer - most of them needed work, and then drive it during the school year. Liked them all, just always wanted something different.

And that list is nothing compared to my dad. He's had at least 5x that list.
