There is always a new project - or one you are thinking about... Trust me.
I am considering a home remodel - and one of the stipulations is having enough room in the garage for a lift. My wife tried in vain to tell me that our neighborhood is too "high end" for a lift. I say - F- em!- and it will give me a 3rd car garage space too! (and I hate how some of the houses look from the street when all you see is three garage doors and a tiny entry way)

I used to have the addiction in my youth. As I got older the return for busting my back modding, tuning, modding, tuning, fixing, tuning, modding, every weekend got less and less. Now, minor maintenance and prerace prep is all I have the stomach for and even that is getting old. I just want to get behind the wheel and drive.
Enjoy it while you can.

Oh - and I like to get in and drive too - My projects tend to be quicker - and more costly - and planned. It's nice to have several cars to drive - I actually enjoy working on the Porsche. Everything is pretty well laid out. The alfa I had was a pain in the ass.
