Didn't you just move recently, around the time you built your tranny? I'm pretty sure I remember you being excited about your garage.
Oh, avoid places with a HOA like the plague. The most I am allowed to do is to change a tire. Fortunately my neighbor is a good guy and won't turn me in like the last one did for swapping a cam. And make sure that you have a decent side yard with a cement slab, or put one in, in addition to a two car garage. Engine stands, extra blocks, hoists, refrigerators, beverages, lawn chairs, and all that stuff need a place to go while you're "working" on the car. And a desktop computer. Laptops just plain suck for research and ordering stuff. And light! Lots of light. And a garage floor with a crown so tools will roll away from the middle of under the car when you drop them. I'm looking at YOU, Mr. 7/16" socket!
