    For those of you that can't help but bring home project cars, I think a good way of justifying it (when you're bringing home wagons, at least) is that the car doubles as storage for all of the project bits lying around the garage.

    I used my '88 Subaru GL Turbo Wagon as a storage unit when I needed to clean out the garage. It swallowed a spare GL engine, a '78 Austin Mini engine, two Mini doors, countless other small parts, and a sizable pile of paint cans with ease. It's like having a second garage.

    Good idea! I need a shed. I may need a full size shed though. A Chrysler T&C comes to mind as having the most sqare footage.

    Let it never be said that you aren't creative! Organized chaos. Imagine some poor fool looking for 1966 parts in a 1969. Confuse them. Works for me anyway. :biglaugh:

    Rev, some day I've got to go visit ya. Too much! My wife's getting the itch to do some touring next year, and we just might do that. The Mexican Consul in Vancouver is a good friend of hers, so I could park her there for a day and visit the master and your fleet. :D (y) :drink:

    Shaftesbury cream ale and Glenlivet (straight, no ice). I'll bring some Seagrams Crown. The distillery is here.

    Used to own a 74 Hornet wagon that I used for a "storage shed", and I had it parked around for about 4 years. When my other cars wouldn't start, I could always jump in it and go...Course the fuel economy suffered from driving around with those parts in it...LOL:biglaugh:
