"Rehab is for quitters."I'll have to remember that....

Addiction, Affliction..

its known as Three Fifty Sickness.

This illness is primarily a psychiatric disorder with a prevalence found in

owners of old German sports cars. The pathology definitely has features of 

obsessive/compulsive disorder...patients seem to pay excessive amounts of 

attention to small details which would normally be viewed as unimportant to a 

well individual. The disease also has manic features, as those effected seem 

to exceed their monetary means regularly. Behavior may be viewed as anti-

social and has been known to cause marital problems.Apart from the obvious 

mental aberrations, affected persons may also exhibit certain physical 

characteristics. One can often identify patients by an unkempt appearance, 

oil and grease about the body and clothes is common. Dirt under the 

fingernails is nearly universal, as are multiple contusions and abrasions about 

the hands, especially the knuckles. Affected individuals have been known to 

finish one project only to obtain another, thus the cycle repeats. I must 

conclude that this disorder is chronic and incurable.

Fortunately, there are group therapy sessions held periodically throughout 

the world! as well as on the SOC

I believe a few on this forum are afflicted with the worst type of Three Fifty Sickness, that chronic incurable disorder mentioned above, commonly known as S.A.S. (not the car manufacturer) Speedster Acquisition Syndrome.  Dr. Clock Merkin and Troy Sloan are well known examples.

SICK , SICK VERYYYYYYYYYYY SICK

WHY R U SELLING BITCH

When my car is broke then I am disapointed I can not take it out for a spin.

When the car is fine then I am disappointed I can not tinker and fix it !!!

MADNESS??????????????

I'm with you Sassy, I put my car on the road in August, after 3 years for restoration (bad fire before I got it) Ended up with a few quirks, that I just couldn't take the time to fix as it was just so much fun to drive. Now its too cold in my garage to really get into tinkering and its driving me crazy.

 For the price,(30K+) I am happy for what I got,the looks are incredible,and the performance is great for "what it is". I have owned a few vinatge cars and this car totally "feels vintage".

 If I had bought a real one,I would be disappointed for the "value",and would not "enjoy" driving it,since there is so much fear of degredation/rust. I took the money I saved from buying a real one and invested in more real estate. A win/win for sure.
