Little resale value with 2nd hand cars, may as well keep them.

I have to agree! You will get very little for any of them used and if she really loves you she would not ask you to get rid of any of them.
Good Luck

Or you can find a couple friends that are looking to get into racing. This may be your chance to expand the hobby...

All good buggies. Just list them all overpriced on Ebay (new price or more). Then, one of two things will happen-

A) you will sell one or two of them at top dollar

or more then likely-

B) you won't sell any of them and give the 'sorry honey, they didn't sell; nobody wants them' speech. 'I tried really hard though'

win-win. Evil, I know.

Buy a trailer or shed, new garage, and hide them. Tell her you are storing or repairing them for friends. Give them to her. My wife owns shotgun's, rod's/reels, and tool's. Most of them she has never seen.

Lol, that's why my mom has a chipper shredder, a chain saw, two air compressors, and a few other specialty tools... My dad figured this out long ago...

you will be lucky to sell them for 1/2 what you paid. i would just explain that to her and then keep them.
