Not for me. And this dude has a lift sitting disassembled in his shop. But, he's had some medical issues this last year and has had to slow way down. I'm glad he feels good enough to get his teener running again.

You know, getting a car with interior, glass and suspension up and on its side is not easy. It's not even a good idea. You see, most cars get a new front pan or other common repairs while still a viable running car.

Anyway, it's a physical game and I'm not really looking for too much of that kind of work. I don't know what's out there, but I'll know when I find it. I would consider buying a small business as well.

I could have bought a decorative hardware retail store for $16,000 a few years ago. The model wasn't right; no website and pretty much a special order outfit. I saw two things that kept me from taking the business: the lack of Internet sales and the thought that the economy was boiling over.

Good thing because the main competitor went out of business in 2010. I went over to Lomita CA today and looked for a couple of wood related businesses that I used to deal with. Both gone. It's still very lean out there.

Oh, and that Corvette I saw yesterday? It's currently not being worked on due to a lack of funds from the owner. The Ferrari place? 2 guys working in the shop and in the half hour I was there, they did nothing. No work, just lots of cars covered up. That's how the owner pays the rent, storage. Another not-a-good-sign.
