Last night I was out in the garage and some guy drives by "How's the Porsh coming along? Last time I came by, you were sanding the floorpan"

I said "pretty soon, I'm putting a new motor in it." Though the reality is that that car I _was_ working on is now someone else's project, and this is a totally different one.

Otherwise I am in a perpetual state of "a couple months from now," at least for most of this year that is.

The reality is, to get it to the point I really want it, will probably be a couple years or more. (flares, new paint job, fiberglass or carbon hoods and bumpers, built-in PC, etc.)

"Pretty soon...." meaning about a week.

I've been saying that for the past 3 months now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron...

I say "whenever the hell I feel like it!"

Actually, I'm sticking to "this summer"ish.

When I dropped the front end last weekend wifey came out and asked if was almost ready to roll. I said "...ayup." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Why not just say "never"! That's the truth, isn't it? My list is too long to ever
finish, and by the time I get toward the end, I will be starting over!!

I've only had the car three weeks!

It won't be done till I sell it, or someone steals it.

"Never!!" Mine will never be done. It's one of my hobbies.

Today, it's my daily driver and running great. But I've got a "to do" list.

I figure the stuff on the current list will be done in about a year. But by then I'll have dreamt up some more things to do to it. Even it appeared to be perfect, there's always room to lose another pound, add another horsepower, trick another part, etc.

Like in the movie ' The Money Pit'. Shelly Long asks the contractor "when are you going to be done?" The answer was ALWAYS "2 weeks" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif)

There was a running joke with the music store I used to do a lot of business with....

"When will it be here?"

"Two weeks."

Come back in two weeks... repeat the same Q&A.

They also had a nice prop for people who complain: They took the sound box (for lack of better description) out of a crying baby doll. You know, the kind you squeeze and they cry... So, roll open the drawer, pull out the little gadjet, push the button and hear the "waaahhh wahhhh waaahh." Somone complains, they had the crying sound effect ready.....Guess you had to be there.

When the wife asks I say "when you stop harassing me every time a box shows up on the front doorstep."

To other people say "never" or "when it hits the wall at 150 MPH."

AAron... your dad rocks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Great sense of humor.

I figure yours is half done... since currently only children run screaming from it. Or is that women? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'll refrain from the jokes about "depends on who's driving."
