Good news/bad news: I've located my 1st car (!)...

I say buy it back. You only live once. Go for it. The car needs you! Buy it, do the work and do it properly, and you will look back and be glad you did. Imagine yourself in your old Chevelle, rumpy Rat underhood, five-spokes like the old photo, all done up right and looking fantastic and running even more so.

There's always 100 reasons to say no. Yes is almost always harder to say but it's often a lot more satisfying.

Do it. Don't think too much. Do it. You might lose sleep for a while but once that baby's in your garage you'll feel better with each passing day. Do it.
