My dad was one of those who kept a book on every car he owned, from the day he got it.. every quart of oil, every tank of gas, every set of brakes and tires got put into the book.tgis was about 1982.
I started to keep a book on the first car I ever built. I didn't have a drivers license when I started the build. After about 6 months I gave up on the book, I didn't want to know how much it was costing me.. LOL !!
