You might be there...
There's got to be a 12 step meeting that can help  Joking, of course. I say it becomes a problem when you lose a job because of it.

Well, I had some leftover caliper paint and didn't want to throw it away.
I definitely get less sleep but I show up to work. I think I just need a 2 step meeting... sell one of my cars, buy a new project.

That looks great. I have one more project for you; move the vise to the very corner of the table. Pet peeve of mine is a vise that's really far in on a table to where it's not as useful.

That vise has been in that spot for the last 15 years and about 10 cars. I'm pretty happy with its location. I just thought it needed a little R&R. Jeez... The Internet brings out the best in people, even the ones you kinda trust when they say something. Grrr

I have always had the hankering for a lightweight 911, semi stripped with a hot motor. Not crazy but maybe 2200 lbs with 300hp, it sounds like fun...

according to my wife, my passion became a problem when I got the second Porsche.
now with two running porsches along with a '78 930 and '86 944 turbo project cars on jack stands, she it trying to sign me up for counseling. pretty sure I have passed the point of no return. |
