My goodness, Joe, all those toys to play with and you're complaining! With
my limited garage and car storage space, I heed to the truism that to go
really fast, (drive a purpose-built race car), you have to drive pretty
slow, (drive your mini-van tow vehicle to work). My only play street car is
'72 Honda Z600 coupe, (the bad ride in microcars). I have the winter
re-build blues as well, I need to pull the drive train in the sports racer
to get some chassis reinforcement done. I hate to pull a shiny race car
down into greasy, messy bits. Life's a bitch. Good luck with your projects.
:-)
