My recent epiphany...

Last night I'm desperately shuffling stuff around to get all the cars inside before the huge ice storm heading for DFW. I decide to put a pretty beat up 914 A/C system in the attic to clear some space (can't throw that out - might need it someday). Climb stairs, turn on light, first thing I see is a big box with at least two full sets of 1.7 engine tin...crap...why is that still here.

Obviously, I struggle with trashing stuff that is usable. However there comes a point where your car is sitting out in the weather and you have no room to work because you are drowning in crap you can't bring yourself to throw out.

Am I the only one? Any suggestions? Want some free 1.7 liter tin?
