I guess we do have a fleet - probably because I'm metally ill - but it goes like this. We keep six vehicles on the road at any given time - those six change when winter comes and all salt starts getting used - so it's actually twelve on the road one time of the year or another - but only six at a time. In all though, I think we have around two-dozen cars and trucks that are in good running condition. And not running - around thirty - many are just future projects that will never get done - e.g. 65 SS Chevelle, 60 Corvair Briarwood, 1918 Ford Model T, 1920 Ford Model TT, two Model As, two Model AAs, 65 MGB, 49 Ford F1 truck with flathead 255? Merc V8, 69 Power Wagon, etc. Insurance is $100 per vehicle for six months - total annual insurance for six vehicles is $1200 per year. And "collector's vehicles are cheaper - basically a flat rate of $150 a year for any amount of cars (within reason). When I reigster my 240Z, 280ZX, or MGB I do it that way. Motor vehicle inspection is another cost - $12 per year for diesels and over $20 per year for gassers.
I've also got three diesel plow trucks - but there is a little cheating going on with them - no registration fees and no insurance.
Also got over a 100 tractors. For that reason - I think I'm glad I don't live somewhere that has a personal property tax.
