Thanks man. I am really enjoying it. My commute is about 1.5 hours of heavy traffic each way, so 3 hours a day in a car, if I am gunna spend that much time in a car it has to be a car that I love. I also have a "break even or better" rule for car ownership, which usually keeps me in the 30-20 year old realm.
I also get some weird satisfaction in depending on something that my own hands have rebuilt (or repaired).
