RE: Longterm Car Goals

If you're like me, here are a few quotes:

"Don't bite off more than you can chew."
"The best laid plans of mice and men."
"Delusions of grandeur"

I have a 4000S, 944, and an Austin-Healey 100.  I still make lists, but they
never seem to hold water.  

Good luck.  I did the control arm bushings and ball joints over the weekend.
I hope I never see another bushing for a loooong time.  But it's as solid as
a rock.
