Finally Time to Sell the Clown Shoe? (This Time I Mean It!)

The writer says he has reduced his car collection from 14 to 11 over the past year after realizing several stored vehicles weren’t truly being driven. He sold three cars: the Bavaria, a 1979 Euro 635CSi, and “Bertha,” a ratty 2002 hot-rod, with buyers reporting updates and photos from events and long road trips. Despite that progress, he still had five cars in storage in a rented warehouse space in Monson, Massachusetts—about an hour and 20 minutes west of him. The storage cost is $70 per car per month, totaling roughly $4,200 a year. He planned to cut spaces down from five to three before a bill arrived and recently retrieved his “FrankenThirty” E30 325is salvage car and the 1999 BMW M Coupe nicknamed “The Clown Shoe.”
