After spending many hours in front of the computer ,Ive been buying antique car parts ,Some 34 and 32 ....Been doing this for 2 years ,I really dont make any money at this.Just the thrill of the sale.How many others have this same sickness .Or am I alone .The latest is Shell crazy.............That makes 2 grille shells this month I dont need 1 whippet and 1 32 ford truck grille + 1, 34 Fordfront suspension
Me too - buy all the parts I can and then fall for another project and start all over again Don't always get the project finished however all the parts are there Biggest job that stops me from finishing a project is paint Current total is 4 projects and I am considering buying another car Me think me afflicted! Now where is that HAMB anon number
I only have one, I would have more but the state put me on this involuntary program to try to get the devil out of me, its called bonded ***le, now I lay awake at night with the sweats and racing pulse trying to figure out how I am or if I am ever going to get to drive my one car again, I spend all my money on lawyers and expediters trying to get a fix, sometimes I sneak out to the shop and go around the block once before J LAW comes and tries to send my toy to the crusher, I have nightmares about receipts and vin numbers chasing me down the street screaming VERIFY, VERIFY! Oh god make it stop, let me just drive my car, already.
Since we have been diagnosed with a diaease, do think there is any government ***istance for it ? Only way to promote a cure is spend money on it.
I'm buying parts for a 47, a 73 & 74 cars and looking to buy a 35-42 car. Rigt now the 47 & 74 are consuming my time in locating just the right stuff. I don't think there ihs a cure even when the pocket book is empty.
Hmmm, we can probably get this covered under our new goobernment healthcare - It should be cl***ified as one of them "Pre-Exsisting Conditions" . . .
Yeaaaah buddy....I've had this disease for waaaayyy tooooo long. Hell, I could be retired and have a healthy 401K goin' on. But, NO, I gotta' just do that one more project and that's it...until another one comes along. I do this with two channel stereo stuff too...it's called audionervosa. So I got autonervosa and audionervosa. I'm screwed!
40 years for me... Guess it's one of those deseases you can't get rid of.... Ever heard that song by Humble Pie?? "I DON"T NEED NO DOCTOR"
I often wonder / day dream, "Why can't there be a swap meet around here every weekend?" Ok, maybe EVERY weekend would make me absolutely broke! How about every other one then? I'd be there hunting/haggling/buying and learning!
It's fun, isn't it? Very few of us makes any money on anything, but in the rare instance that we do, we'll find some way to reverse it. As far as building cars goes (aside from the pros), we're very lucky if we would recover the cost of the parts. It's one sickness that I'm glad I have & I'm not gonna let any doctor cure it.
Espo 35 Im married and the sickness slowed down ,When I was younger it was cars ,Till the township gave me problems ,Now its parts .Now im sitting here flipping to ebay and the cl***ified here ,Will it ever end .
