@CCF: you are living in a big town, so I guess, that you have problems with parking-space -especially to get an own garage- but if you are living outside of town-centers, you mostly will have more space. The biggest problem, if you want to own more cas, is the space.
If the cars aren't in traffic, you don't have running costs for them, except you have rented a garage. But let the cars standing outside, is not good. Sooner or later will be rotten. To bring cars back in traffic after a longer time standing around, costs also money and work.
Where I'm living now, in a dead-end-street on the outside of a bigger village, the amount of cars of the neighbours is a problem, too. There is nearly noone with just one car. One car for the man, one for the wife, then often the man got a company-car, then some owns hobby-cars or motorbikes. The bigger chldren have scooters or own cars - quite easy your own ground is full, so you have to park cars on the street. But the street is very narrow, because it shall be a quiet living-area.
On the countryside the public traffic is a problem (often it doens't really exist), so every family-member needs a car for daily driving.
The houses here are quite big, but not their grounds - in a better area the prices for ground are high.
@CCF: if you want to own more cars, you have to leave Madrid and buy for a bit money an old Finca or Hacienda in the Estremadura or the Sierra Morena.
I don't know much about Spanish prices, but I think, an old Finca on the far countryside will be much cheaper than a cool loft or modern apartment in Madrid.
