I have 4 (68style mentioned all but the 94 Park Ave which is my least photographed).
However, after my dad's 07 Silverado's transmission lost 2nd gear, he was considering buying a new car. Keep in mind he's in his 70s, though still mentally and physically fit to continue driving.
Instead of letting him sink so much money into a new vehicle, I essentially gave him my Park Avenue as it's already winter equipped and FWD so he'll have no problem buying groceries and taking trips with my mom.
I'm also giving him the J30 for their garage as the car to take out during nicer days. Giving him 2 cars allows him to choose which one to drive, thus stimulating his aging mind and keeps him and my mom active. My parents are working class and never had hobbies so the car is important to them to keep exploring life in their retirement.
I've always been a sedan guy (almost bought that V8 SHO posted in the Good Buys Thread) but wanted either a tall wagon (was thinking Taurus X) or a minivan but it had to be an oddball. I can't say I've seen many second gen T&C's, let alone woody so I just picked that up to own alongside my Regal. I like always having at least 2 vehicles in case one breaks, I can keep going to work and having fun without worry of being stranded.
Long reply, but perspective is always nice!
