I'm worse, as my excess vehicles do NoT run!

2 Jeeps, 3 1 ton Chevy vans, 4 69-73 Opel GT's, 5-6 riding mowers, and many leaf blowers, chain saws, tillers, push mowers...


There must be some type of corollary that states:

The Junk expands to fill the available space.

My intentions are, "I'm gonna fix that some day."

LOL. I have to fix things at the end of nearly every weekend. Doesn't help doing things like this. I wonder how a giant battery pack on the bottom of a vehicle would fare?

Also, FJ's rock!

I put it a little differently...

If I had twice as much space, I'd have twice as much junk.

My wife has been after me for years to stop bringing in junk (or good stuff that turns into junk). Now that we're seniors we're getting rid of stuff. Recently last year got rid of a car engine from my garage, a car frame from the yard, a half-body of a car, and a bunch of scrap metal. Sold off a 1970 car rusting away but running. I have a 1968 car body in the garage that I'm chopping up. Am looking at selling or discarding other vehicle parts including 4 doors, 2 hoods, 4 trunk lids, roll bars, suspension parts and axles, seats, multiple mag wheels, boxes of car components, and two extra engines.

Not only do I have cars that don't run, they are parted out and disassembled! At least your cars are in one piece. Yes, I was a car nut. I have to get rid of these, as my wife doesn't know the values. A carburetor pair is worth $2000, an oil pan about $800, camshaft about $200, etc., - special racing components. But in her eyes, it's all junk.

My intentions were always to build these cars some day. Sigh, haven't built one for almost 20 years (a 1966 sports car that still runs like new).
