Default Is there an addiction support group?

I picked up #4 this afternoon. This is a '79 5-speed, the car needs a lot of work, but might be savable. The body is great, the interior is terrible and the engine is out of the car. If I can't save it, it will go on to live on in the other 3, they each need parts that this car has. At the moment, I don't have room for the car, but that should be resolved by Saturday, then I can start taking inventory and deciding on a path to take.

Pictures to come

Asking that here is like walking into a bar and asking if there's anyone who can coach you on how not to drink.

This group supports one addiction.

If you're looking for a group that supports quitters, not here.

point taken, now where can I find #5, and more importantly, where will it put it?

All that I can say is, Thankfully my wife hasn't booted me out yet, she actually seems supportive of my habit.

Put a lift in each garage bay and double-down; oops that's a different support group.

She can keep tabs on you with this habit - others maybe not so much.

I don't have a problem.

Unlike you sad and sick folks, I only have one 928...

And a 944...

And a Cayenne Turbo.

And a one car garage.

I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want to.

I just don't want to.

You and me both. I some how was able to convince mine to drive to Iowa to pick up an '86 5 speed a few weekends ago. That was an interesting road trip with a 2 and a 4 year old. I now have way more than I know what to do with but I just... can't... stop.

Doesn't AA stand for automobiles anonymous?

You need to find off-site storage, out of sight out of mind as they say
