I'm not advocating drug addiction here, just making light of how expensive it is for the common man. I get the impression, while there wasn't nearly as much cool stuff in the olden days, what they did have was relatively far more affordable, but I could be wrong. The car hobby, like a lot of hobbies, unless you let it put in the poor house, or interfere with other more primary relationships in your life, is very healthy. It's given me the chance to meet a lot of interesting people I wouldn't have met otherwise. Also, there is a lot of pleasure in thinking up what to do, then doing it, then seeing the results. In a very real sense for me, it's not actually about the car. Grasshopper.
Cause my mother never did time for trying to smuggle an intake manifold into prison...

I totally agree though, if i didnt have my car addiction I wouldnt have the love of my life.

Also, you have to remember, any time I have a chance to be a smart ass, i'm going to take it.
