Once you've got a lathe (or access to one) there's a world of stuff you can make or modify, particularly for cars. You can't help but look around and admire how different machined parts were made and what setups were used to get to the end product.

I'd love to get a mill too. Someday...

For me it is just a fun hobby. I have a little Southbend 9X48 at my business shop for light work, but this big dinosaur I have at my home shop is so much fun. I too am looking for a mill.
