So sad. The poor sod limits himself to sockets and wrenches and such

Not even a single machinist tool in the pile. A life wasted....

All the machining tools are at the front. He bought them first when he had money.

If he got the pickup out of the way there would lots more room.

My garage fillup went in stages. First it was tools around the outside so that I could bring in a car. Then it was tools only in the back so I could bring in half a car. Then I gave up on that idea altogether, and went full "shop" layout, and just work on stuff in the driveway. Which sucks. I would absolutely love to have an indoor space, especially with a hoist, where I could work on vehicles, instead of laying on carboard, or foam pads out on a gravel driveway. Then again, I'd love to be wealthy enough to not HAVE to work on cars too lol.

The consolation prize is that vehicles last longer stored outside. Garage storage accelerates corrosion - especially in the winter.

Would you please, please say that to my wife?

I’ve been fixing cars since before I could drive. I had taken a little hiatus, but I’m back at it again. I kind of enjoy the challenge most of the time (with the exception of rust, that I hate). But I get not having to work on them, ie you are doing it for fun, not cause you need the vehicle to get to work in the morning

I enjoy wrenching on stuff, but when you're holding critical parts of your daily driver in your hands at 12:00am and you have to work at 7:00 it's different....

 

[Susquatch]

Would you please, please say that to my wife?

Sure. Best to arrange a phone call. If she gets a look at me, any credibility goes out the window.

It is true though.

This is not a good image. I need to sleep tonight.
