I got to looking around today, seeing what needed what and were I was at on all my projects... 12 that's how many vehicles I'm driving/project/maintaining..... I need to step back and reevaluate my situation... No wonder I work so many hours on just my stuff.... Might sell it all and by a Hybrid, learn to watch TV and swing on the porch...:crazy:

Hybrid, yeah right. You just need the company of your peers. Jenssen on this site is a good start. He probably has as many as you do. He saves them from the crusher. Works out of his garage in Canada

And sells them to us saps that spend their life saving saving them!

*My answer would be "Cause why the heck now?!!!?"

I only have three vehicles..

1997 XJ
2009 Ram 1500
2000 MR-S
and a 1999 pop-up camper (looking to sell it, and either attempt a teardrop build, or pickup a decent deal on a 17-18' camper).. and I guess my GF's LJ... it's technically hers... but still parks @ the house... and I still maintain and eep it going... and drive it more than she does...

The operational fleet:
95 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel p/u (HD gen purpose)
97 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 gas p/u (I'd burn it, but it won't die)
99 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd 5.9 gas p/u (plow)
85 Mercedes 300D/W-123 (great diesel engine - can't kill it)
85 Mercedes 300SD/W-126 (another great diesel engine but the body is dying of rust)
95 Jeep GC 4.0 (DD)
98 Jeep GC 4.0 (DD)
00 Jeep GC 4.0 (Sunday/vacation car)
89 Jeep MJ 2.5 (never owned one before)
79 Jeep CJ-7 304V8 (grand daughter wants an open jeep to drive when she is 16)
95 Chev K1500 4.3 (better half)
Yamaha golf cart (grand daughter drives it cause she's ten)

I also have a forty hour a week job maintaining/operating very large diesel generators & power distribution equipment.

I have an aircraft repair service that handles small light airplanes. I try to do twelve annuals per year.

In my spare time I run an aircraft & hangar rental agency while maintaining a privately owned public use commercial airport.

Other motorized craziness that I'm maintaining & using at the airport: road grader, pavement roller, back hoe/loader, skid steer, multiple tractors, and very large commercial batwing mowers, 10kw & larger generators, diesel engine pumps.

If I find a nice FC I'll probably buy it. I fully expect my better half to shoot me when that happens. If she doesn't shoot me, she will get me committed to the rubber room motel & drooling academy.
