Default Who has a to-do list for their car that's a mile long???

I just finished working on my to-do list for my car. :eek: Everyday for the last 4 weeks i have been adding new stuff, and this is just to get my car back to like new. Mods are another story. That list is just as long. Who keeps track of every little squeak, rattle and broken part with the intention of fixin' em besides me??

Or maybe I'm just crazy... :crazy: :crazy:

I'm the same way. I've already done a lot in the past couple months and I STILL have lots to do. Kinda depressing but in the long run, it'll be worth it. I just wish I had the money to do everything at once because something else seems to go wrong in the meantime waiting to fix something else. :nonod:

List here also, But it is nice to drive and see the results every time I knock one off the list.
With 230 thousand on the car, there is always something to do in my spare time.

While the car has been sleeping, I have been picking up about one item per week. Come spring it will take me a month to install everything. But it's fun making the UPS gal run up and down my driveway all winter! Just 8 weeks left until the bear comes out of the cave..... :yawn:

Who DOESN'T have a list? Isn't that part of the reason we buy Corvettes, especially old ones with high mileage?

There is always a list, it is just the length that varies.

A small to-do list here. Spark plugs, SOMETHING needs to be done with the exhaust tips. I can't bare the black rectangles any longer.

The folks won't allow me to do the muffler elims, changed their minds last minute. Can't just swap exhaust tips because the aftermarket tips are too long. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I've got money to spend and nowhere to put it! Everything I want is either too expensive for me, or something I don't want. :rolleyes:

I always end up making a list before even getting a car, like I'm doing now for my future L98.
