Only half are on the road at one time. The nice ones only get driven in the summer to avoid road salt. The others are rusty winter vehicles, two with plows. I still have to pay to keep them all inspected, but the diesels only cost half price. In regard to road salt - we have a few dirt roads here that get salted all summer long - which I try to stay away from. Insurance is $150 per vehicle for 6 months. In regard to registrations, I used to cheat a little - but it's not worth the risk anymore. For example, I have two diesel Suburbans - an 87 and a 91 - both the same color. I used to just keep one registered and swap plates back and forth. Same with my 1982,1983, and 1987 diesel K5 Blazers, my wife's two 91 diesel Volkswagen Jettas, and our two blue 4WD Subarus. But, tickets and fines that used to be $15 are now a couple of hundred so it's not worth screwing around anymore.
