...do you just get to sit in the garage and look at your car because there is nothing left to fix. Today is one of those days.... life is good :-)

That's a great looking coupe ya have there Iceaxe.

I make sure I have mine on the road a few times a week, but I hear ya, because I get just as much enjoyment out of tinkering with it in the garage and cleaning it as I do driving it.

Have a great weekend.

If you have nothing to fix you're not looking hard enough!

I think he meant there is nothing that NEEDED fixing...

At that moment, the car NEEDED to be admired.

A tough project is like eating an elephant. You take it one bite at a time and eventually you're plate will be empty, or you have friends over for lots of BBQs.

As much progress as I've made on my silver anniversary in the 6 weeks I've had it, It's still tough to imagine getting to the point where there isn't anything left to fix, lol !
