It's not a physical pain or lack of tools or space, I'm 36 years old, in good health, and I just built my dream shop a year ago with a 2 post hoist, plenty of light, etc. I enjoy driving, owning, and looking at my cars, but I'm really having trouble with actually wrenching on them. I still get super exited about the finished product. I love traditional hot rods, original classics & antiques, and just about anything old, and can appreciate most things in the gear-head world, It just feels like a chore to go out in the shop and work on my projects. I have finally come to grips with the fact that I don't really enjoy working on cars all that much. I feel like a "bad" car guy or a wannabe. I love driving my cars, I even love standing in the garage and looking at them! I spend way to much time trying not to throw wrenches across the shop and being pissed off at a machine, for a hobby I am supposed to enjoy. I have always loved cars, and I think I always will, I just might not have the patience/drive/motivation to build them. When I read stories of guys who build a car from junk and drive it around the block once then take off on a 3000 mile trip with no problems, it makes me want to scream! lucky bastards!!!!! I have replaced the damn thermostat housing gasket on the 302 in my roadster 4 times and it still leaks ! when I got the car together, I had no 3rd gear in the trans and bad rear main leak, (free used engine & trans that was supposed to be "good") so everything had to come back out, stuff like that drives me nuts! Now the trans is fresh, the engine is re-sealed, and the stupid pinion seal of the 9"is puking all over the place! I feel like I will never get to enjoy the fruits of my labor because something else is always wrong and it lives on the hoist. What 283john said is exactly how I feel, I love the feeling of finishing a task and enjoying the result, but I seem to have no patience for the little problems. 1:18 scale, measure approximately 8-1/2" L 21.6 cm L sticker measures 3-3/4" W x 4-3/4" H 9.5 cm W x 12.Thanks guys !
