Folks that find that out are usually stunned, but to me, driving an A is boring. Oh I do it, but generally out of necessity. What I enjoy most is the challenge to return something to replicate a former state. That is why I like to restore vs. replace. Others would rather replace items vs restore because they view authentically or accurately restoring as a waste of time. I could go on, but the real common denominator that I have noticed over the years was that folks mess with Model-As to take their mind off of something else in their life. The real question is how many people get on Fordbarn when they know they really should be doing something else!!  . (that reminds me, Gotta go!) |
Brent, When do you hang out your shingle as a psychiatrist? You are absolutely correct, of course. While I'm in the workshop, I'm not in the kitchen.
