Should i be on "Hoarders"?

Christmas time when i see my family i always get asked how the junk yard is doing or the scrap pile. followed by why are you hoarding that stuff? your possesions weigh you down. the best is some scraper wanted to do me a favor and take my sedan out of the yard. im like wtf i had to pay for that!

call it bragging call it what you want. thought this site was about sharing builds, experiences and thoughts.

 

yeah i saw that show i get compared to it by my loved ones. on the show they have real junk, landfill material. dead animals. one women shit in bags for 10 years and kept them. lol wtf hardly comparable.

 

Na... Rather Jersey Shore... JK

 

haha thanks actually when that show came out i decided to grow the hair out. so thats what you think about us jersey folk, well i cant blame you.

 

Nope, you arent a hoarder you are just a guy that needs a bigger garage! The guys that think you are showing off are jealous.....

 

Dont be so rough on yourself. Im sure your not the only one on here with this problem. Myself included. I have a problem, Im a junker.

 

I'd be more than happy to free up the valuable space those flatheads are using. Just drop me a PM and "bamm", enough room for another motorcycle.

 

No offense taken from Kanzas.

 

we don't treat our babies like that in kansas.

 

x2 on need a bigger garage. then you can get more stuff. or fine collectables, thats what i tell my wife my stash is.

 

I had the same problem. Not enough room to run my lathe,or use the sandblast cabinet,wifes car parked out in the snow. So,I built a 4 car garage,and went out and bought more stuff.

 

You have a problem and I think I can help you. PM me.

 

You're not a hoarder... you're just garage size challenged. I'm familiar with the condition. I have friends that tell me that I could clutter up a warehouse! I don't think that they meant it as a compliment, either.

 

i hear you guys eat em out there? j/k i prob better off in a big open area like that my self. seems all my hobbies involve large amounts of space.

 

im diggin that axle rack!

 

Skotty, you're not a hoarder, you just have a lot of irons in the fire. That way, when you get tired of working on the truck, you can switch over to the A or the 'vette and visa versa. It's all good.

I just bought a '65 Gran Sport Riviera that's buried in the back of a 30x60 garage. It's so full of bikes, porsches, dune buggies and machinery that it's going to take a couple months to clear the stuff out of the way.

But I bet, just like this guy, you know where everything is and what it fits.

Keep it up!

Later,

That ain't so bad. I ran across a cop who told me about a polebarn full of cars for sell. I called "Bullshit" so he invited me to go see. The old guy had died and left everything to his grandson. When we get there I see a 60x100 polebarn crammed full of cars. They had cleared about the first 20 foot to make a little shop. The cars were parked so tight you couldn't even "slide" between them. Door handle to door handle, bumper to bumper. The grandson had already sold 12 cars (the nicer two-door stuff). Almost all the stuff was luxury 4-door rides from the early 60's to mid 70's. I couple struck my interest but the kids prices were for A-1 cars and most of the stuff hadn't ran in years or needed completely restored.

 

haha thanks for the thoughts. it like a puzzle but it works. pretty much what i do. i go to a truck show one week end. rumblers the next. hershey, then another truck show, i just keep switching it up. unless you travel 500 miles you see alot of the same cars in the tri state at every show every cruise. but rotating keeps it interesting.

 

there is a guy like that by me. i happened to be riding my bicycle past a old plant in my area and the door was open. holy shit 50-60 cars inside. i have a deposit on a 34 sedan that was built in the 60s. hasnt seen day light in 40 years. draw back is that its all the way in the front and the guy has to take every damn car out. guess well have to see what happens. and i ll have to find a place to keep it.

 

I don't understand a garage stuff so full you can't work on the cars never mind actually drive one.Please tell me why?

 

ohh i drive them! i rotate positions. lol. theres different types of crazy. people that kill people, people that dance in the streets and then people that collect stuff.

people are like why dont you sell your old cars and buy one really nice new car! new i never had any thing new. whiether it be cars, women, houses.you name it by the time i get it they are worn out. bad paint, bad interior, bad engine, blown rear i could go on. =)

 

..as long as you don't put the 22's on the split window there will no need for an intervention...

 

One of those flatheads needs to go in the Vette.

 

well my wife thinks I need to be and you have way more stuff than me! lol but its all great stuff!!!!

 

I bet that with a little talking on someones behalf,

A good scammer could talk your two cop renters into helping

push that split window up on a trailer for a SHOW like ,lets say

OVERHAULING !

Because they think your'e just the Nice's guy in the world and you deserve something spacial ..........

Just saying................

 

I know about Yuse guys from NYC and Jerzy have to make your space work for you... But, yuse are no hoarder...You wanna see a hoarder go to Harpers Cycle...he sales those old bikes from Italy...MOTO GUZZI...If you ever want a project Bike go see him...Vintage stuff he has. Barns full...from all over the world...totally amazing! He is a hoarder!! Harpers Cycle KC MO.

 

Hoarder?... I dunno...But that vette pic rocks! Throw it in the art show this Friday!

 

Looks normal to me.

 

how do you think i got all this stuff?! j/k we can paint 1500 scenarios. some one can put a gun to my head, some one could take the roof off the place and get a crane to take the cars out, or a forklift. you name it! maybe a great flood. who knows. car jacking, pimp your ride, american pickers. any more?

 

i have heard of that place. must be a piece of heaven?
