lol. Well at least you are taking it in stages. 2 friends of mine have 10 cars between them and none are running. They are all in different stages of restoration.
My Dad was a crazy person with boats.. and my example... he would be annoyed by the guys in the marina that just sat on their boats and never went out. He had a USCG 10-Ton Captain's license.. Always power boats... He would cruise all up and down the New England coast... do New York City etc... Had some wild trips with him.
His thing was "Take the $!%#( thing out... that's what it's made for"
