Why own so many guitars?

I have 7 guitars.
An ash american strat that I've modified
3 Ibanez's: JPM P2, S470FM, and AF120 Hollowbody
A Takamine EF341C acoustic/electric
A crappy classical guitar I won from a Sam Ash drawing..
and a strat copy from JC penny that was my first electric.

I never play the classical, and the JC penny has been disassembled for a while, so I really consider that I have 5 usable guitars. And I still want more!!!! I'm in the process of assembling a custom fat strat, I want to get a les paul, I want to get a bass... I don't think it will ever end. I'm just addicted to buying gear. I just constantly think of what new guitar or gear I want so I'm ready when the funds are available.
 
Wow! I'm surprised by how many responses are here. It's better to be addicted to guitars than some other things I can think of. I have 3 guitars myself. A Wolfgang Special for the humbucking crunch, a Strat for the snap and quack and a Tele for the twang. That's about all I need, but one day I would'nt mind buying a real nice acoustic.
 
I've got three now (my Oddball Strat, Parker NiteFly, and Yamaha FG acoustic), but I'm jonesing for three more eventually. I'm saving up for Gibson SG Standard, will set my sights on a 50's RI Tele after that, and maybe one day I'll buy a real Parker Fly. I've got the amp to last me a few years (my DSL) and I only use the acoustic for lessons and practice. It could happen!
