I won't be getting rid of any of the vehicles.  And if that ends up surviving 
until 2035, I'll ensure I buy some classic 70s large boats and a few diesel 
trucks to add to the fleet.

Even having a spare for a space is nice.  :)  We have 4 vehicles for 2 drivers, 
plus I have (2) Harleys.  Plenty of backups when needed.  :)
