I think it should be you can pretty much never have a completely finished project. There will always be something to do

I own a Fairlady Z that I have never driven... unless you count rolling backwards off of a flatbed trailer for about 30 feet. I did drive it then.

well, i have drivin both of them, if you cing pulled, the part's car got up to 45mph, and my Blue car got up to 3mph. the 3mph was when it was being towed by mt lawn mower. Now don't laugh, This lawnmower is my tow truck, and one hell of a mud buggy( have yet to get stuck on it)(And of Course, I took the blades off, so it's like a 2wd 4 wheller with low gear's)

hahaha! I actually have towed cars and trucks around in my yard with my riding mower back when my truck wasn't running. It did work! 12hp and super low gearing. Too bad it has an open diff... traction was the biggest issue.
anybody got a Craftsman LSD?
