Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike from Las Vegas.
Just picked up a 73 1.7 Zambezi green 914. I'll be reading this forum as much as I can and I'm sure asking advice from my fellow teeners. Hello to all.  |

QUOTE(cuddyk @ Jun 18 2017, 04:13 PM)  Addiction? You almost make it sound like a bad thing. Just because I have 20 or more yet to be installed parts purchased over the past nine years and work on my car most everyday and buy parts before food I wouldn't call it an addiction. It's my hobby. And since the car is 44 years old and will never really be "perfect" since I drive it so much and it deteriorates each mile I drive it and I will never ever be finished "working on it" and need to keep learning everything about it so I can continually "improve it" and eventually learn how to fix every single thing on it leading up to a 100% ground up rotisserie restoration which will no doubt cost more money than I have and take way longer than I have time for.....is that really the definition of an addiction? Well maybe.....but no one is making me do it. I like it. Same as drinking beer. I could stop anytime but then what would I do? Both with the car and the beer. Anyway....enjoy your new car and welcome to our "club". gg |
