Sure, Santa Claus pilots his iconic sled on Christmas Eve, but what does he drive the other 364 days of the year?

Do you think Santa prefers to keep a simple two- or three-car collection in a small garage, or do you take him as more Jay Leno-style collector, warehouse and all?

J.A. had a good point: If Santa does have a good-sized collection, he certainly has plenty of elves to help maintain the fleet.

A 73 Plymouth Valiant.......................in 1984 I was leaving a girlfriends house and Santa pulled up next to me in a green 72 Plymouth Valiant 4 door.

In reply to wspohn :

Best answer! But incomplete, he would obviously have a fleet of Elfs (Elves?).

When he's still up there at the Pole at work, he rocks a Sherpa. But when he vaycays in Florida or the Med, he has the elves deliver his SL Merc to him.

This one is easy.  He goes from the red sled to the lead sled, also in red:
