  • Automotive ADHD

    I think it's my genes! Is there a cure? My grandparents was telling me the different vehicles they had over they years (50+) and my dad was telling me what his parents and he's had over the years (at least 40). Wowsers.. some of those cars would be big bucks today! Both grandparents had a really good taste in cars.. Ford Starliner, more than a few early Impala's.. dad had a bubbletop Impala.. grandpa a Studebaker. Not to mention the great-grandparents... I'll get the full list some day. Shoot I've had 12 and only been driving 14 years.

    The reason I bring this up is I'm seriously thinking about getting a Omni, Daytona or even a older air cooled Beetle to tinker with. Even thought about getting a 80-90's Plymouth van and replace the Escape. Keep the Festiva of course. It's pretty much in good shape. Does need the valve seals replaced but with it's other problems maybe time for another motor.. runs good though just have to keep oil in it. I do need to bring up the 86 F150 5.0L and start on it. I have issues.

    Oh, 12 in 14 years is nothing to be concerned about... we had a thread about this kind of thing a couple of months age. I'm at over 30 in the last 8, not counting any of my wife's cars or cars I bought only for parts. Some on here have had waaay more than that lol.
    No festiva for me ATM...

      Oops I was thinking that afterwards.. must be getting old. Now there's a 93 Festiva auto for sale local priced to sell. Tempted to look at it but frankly time for something different to play with.

          Most I had tagged, insured and driveable at once was I think 12 plus the bike. Insurance starts adding up though lol, had get rid of a few. Still got 7 though (only 6 tagged) plus the bike which will hopefully be sold soon but its the wrong time of the year for that sort of thing lol
