I need people to e-mail me every Monday and ask me what I did to my car this weekend!!!

I am sooooo disappointed in myself for not doing a better job. I need to put the ground strap and new 911 starter in. Get two new rear tires......and go for a ride!!!

Dood!
Unless you have three or more dead 14s in your driveway, you are just fine! You can replace one of the cars with a major remodle of a room in your house for an excuse...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The reason being, it is only a hobbie unless:
have 3 or more cars
neglected other parts of your life, like say after you demolished the main bathroom
sat and blankly stared for more than three hours at one of the cars
OR
In the middle of dinner muttered outloud how guilty you feel that you are not working on you cars after your wife has made dinner and you have spent all weekend in the Rain working on a pal's brand new 911 gt3 cup car

Then you have passed into the obsessive side and will need a swift kick every monday otherwise you will piss off everybody around you because they will be sick of hearing about how you wasted another 48 hours of prime 914 time watching movies or going to clubs et al...
oh wait, that is me...

Dood! didja get anything done on your car this weekend?

This is why a 40 hour job like the typical engine rebuild takes most people a year to do in their garage in their "spare" time.

Early Saturday: decide to work on car
Midday Saturday: still watching TV, reminded the lawn needs mowing
Saturday afternoon: discovered that bit of fencing still needs to be replaced
Saturday evening: went out for Chinese as no one feels like cooking
Saturday night: watched a movie

Early Sunday: slept in
Midday Sunday: mowed lawn
Sunday afternoon: went to hardware store for nails, repaired fence
Sunday evening: looked at the car in the garage, but decide beer and tools don't mix, go back in

And forget about Mon-Fri evenings...

Where's that spare time, exactly?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Well, only one in the driveway (patiently waiting for me to finish the brakes), one in the garage (getting jealous because I'm spending more time on the one in the driveway), and one in the backyard covered (getting picked apart like a Thanksgiving turkey)....and I haven't done sh*t to any of them in two weeks! Great, now I'm feeling like a lazy-ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif)

Guys, know what it takes to piss off the old lady, or do we? Keep up or lazy around. No matter what gets done, or how much progress has been make, the list is still there and there is still bitchen' to be done. So, guys do what you can do, and work on those 914s, because the bitchen will always be there. Enjoy yourselves. Remember, the guys die alot younger than the gals. So here is to all the 914 wives at there.
