Yeah. Besides working every weekend, things seemed to conspire to keep me away from Earls dabob festival. Internal short on rebuilt alternator one year and a range fire the next. Perhaps it's good that I didn't try a third year, looking at the escalating severity of excuses.
Is it even harder to get a car in the road in CA? I read about all the restrictions the state imposes on licensure. I have a half-Alfa that I bought to fix my wrecked spyder that was only in the yard because they couldn't get the mechanical FI to pass emissions.
I'm much better at planning than execution. I guess that is why my shop and garage are stuffed with so many parts for projects that will get done when I have the time....
My kids want me to live forever so they don't have to deal with the stash!!
It's become a joke about fighting over the inheritance because neither one of them wants my car parts.
Guess I should have been enamored with USA muscle cars instead of obscure foreign cars. I'd be better off $$ wise if I had a stash of chevelles and camaros instead of rx7s and svx's.
Oh well - it is what it is.
