It's good to hear these stories - and be able to check yourself (do I really need another datsun.......part/car or?)
They are important - but I think the internet makes the availability of everything so easy - you can slip into a bad pattern. Terrance is obviously the extreme - but there are differing levels of Terrances problem.
Finished is better than perfect......

I can see where it begins, the morning Craigslist search the swelling anxiety when a soon to be new car or part of your dreams is listed. the frantic reply hoping that your the first. the bartering with the PO wearing a poker face hoping the twinkle in your eye is not seen as you gaze over the goodies and rare nos "mmm NOS" parts that you spied in boxes. the feeling of victory when the papers are singed and the car is on the hook. the constant looking for the parcel delivery person with the gold from far away lands..... .... oh is that the mail man now... hope I got new parts from Alberta..... :mrgreen:

Hey zKars...
Enabler is appropriate...
Although perhaps we both need to read this article... again.

Nevermind.
