    Admitting you have a problem is the first step to healing.

    Say nothing and stay in the garage.

    Easy. Don't tell her, and if caught, lie.

  9. Id have to say yes to your addiction question.
    I'd also say "yeah But **** it" too.
    The wife said "in sickness and in health" right?
    Did she sneak in a limit on cool stuff, willys cars or hemi engines?
    I hear it can take decades of therapy to get over that addiction and sometimes not ever. :p

    List them all -hell list everything for sale at 2 times what their worth.

    Guys, do I have to explain this again? This is settled science, you know.

    The formula is as follows

    F(reho) = (n + 1)

    With n being the current number of early Hemis under ownership.

    In other words, the proper number of early Hemis that a responsible early Hemi owner should own is one more than the current number owned.

    I have been remiss, so I just bought two, to get caught up.

    Are you out of your mind??? Do you really need another Hemi?

    Of course you do!

    If any of you guys are just eaten up with guilt over buying Hemi parts I would be willing to help you out and take them off your hands. No need to thank me.

    A good investment if nothing else. They are not decreasing in value.

    There is a guy out here in San Francisco who has about a good half-dozen more 354's for sale.

    My guess is asking this question on the Hamb is the equivalent of having an A.A. Meeting at the local pub..

    I have few of the 5.7s in the garage, but the empty feel where the 276 Desoto was, and the memory of the 426 I had that I sold cause someone who had the money to build it and promised me I would be there when he took the 66 Belvedere (that was a racecar has been he found in a pasture in 1975) to the track are still there, waiting only for a picture or a video of a blown or injected Hemi to RIP the SCAB OFF!
