Let's face it, there's only so much you can do with a two car garage.

Yes, I do suffer from garage envy.

Like many of you I am in awe of Jack Olson's 12 gauge garage, it is amazing, but there is still only room for one car. That one car happens to be a Porsche 911, so maybe that is enough! 

Am I just too big a cheapskate to seriously mess around in the old car hobby?

Yeah, you're not going to find me here.

I'm thinking that the answer is probably, "Yes!" 

A couple of weeks ago I passed a dealership displaying classic 1960's cars. 

American Motors and Classics. It was housed in a Toyota dealer's previous used car center

Today I happened to be in the area and decided to stop and take a look. Maybe I would see something that would get me excited. 

Why so much hate for Harbor Freight?

They always have almost anything that I could want in stock!

While I don't have any problem buying tools there, I know that some enthusiasts do. Why?

 I finally got started on fixing the Mark VII's carbs.

 All the way from Merry Old England
Twenty dollars in postage!

As I had mentioned, I couldn't find my first order of carburetor parts so I decided to just re order the basic minimum of items necessary to do the job. They arrived within a couple of weeks, and I set them aside. I needed a break from all the Christmas stuff so I decided to fix the damaged carb.
