Dont know were im going in the hobbie anymore:

Hey, i’m 53. Just got two projects last summer. One i owned 25 years ago and one i always wanted.
I have spent my entire life fixing other peoples cars,acquiring skills and buying tools to fix other peoples junk and all i drive is beaters.
So enough is enough,im cutting back on the crap jobs and giving myself 3 days a week to get started on what i want to do,if im going to work myself to death it will be what i enjoy.


You have a good problem,a few cars and a stack of parts.
If its all paid for, then doing nothing costs you nothing.
I dont plan on spending 30 grand to drive a car,never have,never will. Build a budget driver and have fun.
Fixed up a truck last summer, dont care for the ride so im selling it in spring. Use the dough to buy parts for my builds.
That was me in 1997 but at age 44.
And I didn't intend to spend 30Gs either, but it kept adding up and up and I finally threw the adder-upper away. I threw all the receipts in a box and to this day I have never totaled them up. And the hundreds of hours either. But in the end, she gave me 15 years of good-times and 125,000 miles.Maybe next year, I'll get back on her for a last hurrah.
