So my old F-150 is nailed in the side, then my son's Acura is in a wreck, now my wife's 5.0 has a slipping AOD transmission. The F-150 is headed for a frame shop, the Acura is IN the frame shop, and the Mustake will have to wait. We're doing the sheetmetal work on the 2 wrecks, (want to guess how many spot welds hold the core support on an Acura?), but I hate automatics, and won't work on them. I have 2 project cars I've been drooling to work on, but the everyday drivers take priority. Maybe I should lease a Toyota Echo. I did buy another F-150 to take the place of the broken F-150, but we're running out of cars! Did I mention that I loaned my riding mower to a buddy who blew it up?

I'll go have some coffee.

Sean, you're in a similar situation to where I was last year. However, when my wife had health problems after having our baby and I realized I couldn't do anything about it I threw myself into working on my car after they went to sleep most nights. It helped me to vent a lot of my frustrations. I think everything I went through last year and such early season engine troubles this year has just burned me out. I haven't done anything on the car for almost 2 months now and keep on finding other things to do with my time. It's a big change for me, but I just don't miss working on the car. Now that I'm spending a little less time at work and doing less travelling to Mexico and the like, I'm spending all the time at home with my wife and son that I can. I don't miss the pressure of trying to make sure everything is ready for a race weekend either. I'm not sure I'll go back to racing at this point. I may just end up having a track car when I get back around to it. Right now it's not costing me any money sitting in the garage so I'm taking my time making my decision.
