C3 to-do list never gets shorter
I get the wipers/wiper door all working again... and now the headlights are staying up.
Is this a magic feature of C3 to-do lists? The total # of items never decreases, similar to energy being conserved?

I find the list doesnt really get smaller, you just decide to go to the next level of pricing. Mines the $1000 per item level now , the cheapest thing on my list is a power window conversion at $800.00 roughly, but the next thing is the aluminum heads at $1250 a pop and rising due to inflation and the ship date gets further away

Yup, I see that a lot with Harley's too. At least it'll look nice sitting on the side of the road we always say.
And I thought I would add. reading this forum has the very bad effect of adding to that to do list.
Almost every day I see something on here and say either, I should check that on my car, or, That's a cool idea, I'll have to do that to!

I certainly cant talk about scope creep, it seems to be in my nature, and any lists I create grow as a result.
Also I agree with the comment that lists become circular as I often revisit previous work for refinement etc
But I do believe the lists do come down from the daunting size to the liveable size as time goes on.

And in my case I circle back because although I did completely redo my console. After 20 plus years and a lot of use. It needs to be redone again! And on it goes!
