I'm not, I have 7 years worth for my entire fleet in stock. About 350 quarts and matching filters that I keep on rotation to ensure operation is never interfered with, same reason I keep one full set of consumables for all the cars I need to keep working.

I have a closet inbuilt to my garage that has enough space to store al long term fluids for my personal cars, it's not as much space as you think though. 20 5 quart bottles is 100 quarts worth and I can fit about 11 to a shelf and have 5 shelves of them plus some other fluids etc.

Other stuff is at the shop, filters are on normal shelves over my workbench at home as well as spare parts for my cars like control arms, wheel bearings, shocks etc. I keep my spare rims and W12 engine on the shelf in front my one of the cars

My house garage has a lot of inbuilt storage that I fairly fully utilize, I keep my spare engine/trans/TVD on a shelf that is totally inset for example.

Pic from when I realized in real time the shelf needed reinforced!

Current thing I'm doing at home is adding a low rise lift so I have have 4 cars inside my home garage at a time.

Black and Mild wine wood tip if we are being technical lol!

I don't actually smoke and larger cigars give me a nicotine headache even if I go slowly, little thin ones are all I can get away with and I like the wood tips for ease of smoking while shooting.

I'm currently in FL and rented a Mazda CX-50, so needed to buy gas. It actually seems cheap here, only $3.99/gal. That's E15, though, I wonder if that's all they have here. They only sell E10 in IL, unless you go looking for it.

My math is I want enough for each car to make it a lease period worth of driving lol!

I replace all consumables and rubber bits like engine mounts and suspension when I buy I car as well as full paint correction. From there on I buy one more set of consumables to last the car the rest of its life/the next 100k miles if it's a work/daily driver.

That way I never have to concern myself of parts being available or the inevitable price increases.

I was surprised how "cheap" it was in FL when I was there.
