Congratulations!

Now it’s time to buy at least one more project car to keep busy.

3 years almost since I retired at 63, which is too late but as early as I could justify.

I’m managing (mismanaging ) a few builds/drivetrain/suspension upgrades right now, without projects to stay busy it gets boring.

I could get another car. I've thought about it. I don't know. If I did I'd need more shop space, which is not out of the question.

Here's the real problem. I'm not inherently a lazy person but I am a procrastinator. When things need to get done, they get done. But if they can wait, they may wait. Some sayings I like are "never do today what you can put off until tomorrow" and "procrastination is the soul rebelling against oppression".

Who knows, maybe I am lazy. But if I am, I've earned it.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
