It's a balancing act. And maybe something that comes with age. I generally don't like to start projects unless I know that I can finish them, and finish them with a high degree of quality; some would say I procrastinate, I say that I spend a lot of effort up front to ensure smooth delivery.

But a good example, for me, that I'm learning to leave "well enough" is that my "new to me" 993 has a typical amount of road rash on the front bumper cover. The car is a daily driver for me. I use only the best fluids and parts on the car as I maintain it. Mechanically, the thing is as sound as the day it left the factory. I keep it up. And rather than fret over the small paint imperfections, I enjoy the car as it is. I keep it washed and waxed, but some how look the other way over the "patina". One day I will get to it, but for now...I will leave well enough alone.
