At the last G n R Event I asked Dave (aka Silver74insocal) why he wasn't driving his car. He said he needed to yadi yadi yadi yadi yadi; to which I responded "Damn Dave. What is it going to take to get you off your ass? Do I need to post something and ridicule you? To my surprise he said yes or possibly a flogging would work. To that end; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Dave, get off your ass and get to work on your car. It ain't going to fix itself. That being said I thought to myself I'll bet there a several people here that would like to post their names here for public motivational intoxication. Or, perhaps you know of someone who needs that little push in order to get the ball rolling again. Well this is the place and I'm confident that these people will thank you for your concern and support, albeit in this form. Nothing below the belt and let's keep it constructive. Oh, one other thing. If you call someone out you must be willing to assist this person in their quest in some fashion or another. If you have any words for Dave or have a special someone that you know would appreciate your intervention on their behalf, then post away.

I could have been called out here a couple of years ago, but the project was a Lotus Europa that you see below. I responded to consistent nagging by selling the project in pieces. Albeit, fewer pieces than I bought it in. This may not bring the outcome you're looking for. It was after this I first said 'no more old sports cars' and then a few months later I decided 'OK old sports car but it has to be already finished'. So, I bought the 914 I have today. Really enjoying it.

There is much procrastination to be done before I can announce my total failure to make any progress this year. I have a boat lode of parts from Eric Shea sitting in boxes. In my defense, it's getting cold now and I don't have a heater in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Who needs heaters?? Just buy a few thousand watts of shoplights & fire em up!

My project has been on jackstands for almost 2 years.

Hellhole fixed
Trailing arms restored
Brakes, done & ready to reassemble
Engine bay - painted
Passenger compartment: Seats installed, race harnesses installed, stripped & repainted, ready to finish this weekend.

Engine: Next!

Gotta be done by race season next year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I successfully put another car build in front of finishing my blue car. I need to rebuild the engine, stick it in the car. The body needs a windshield (mike, you going to have that trim finished soon?) and I need to figure out how to keep the side window sweetie rubber from putting out when I raise and lower the glass.

Not all that much work. Maybe another 6-8 years!

And if you can't do it right the first time do it right the second time or at least the third time.

Billy you are not a slacker just a perfectionist.

Fluorescent lights don't "fire up" here in the winter. They tease you with a minor bit of light and make a strange noise that sounds like they're laughing at you.

I'm thinking of getting one of these until I come up with $700 for the Modine Hot Dawg.

OK, a quick redirect. Possibly I misspoke in my first post but this is a thread to Roast someone for letting their teener sit. Not the over achievers of America (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
