Thank you. I agonized over fixtures for about a year. What spectrum I wanted lights to be and wattage and flush mount or just t8 style fixtures ect ect.

madwi 08-18-2019 08:16 PM

Things are starting to come together. :tup: Just have to attach keystones to face plate and remount the switch and POE injector. One more light panel and a couple smart/wifi light switches to mount and wire up .
The pile of OSB is going down so thats a plus. :tup:

Washed the car for I think the third time this year :rolleyes: Car really doesnt get used as much as it should. Part of me wouldnt mind getting rid of it for the new vette. I have enough grey hair to pull it off. :icon17: There is a Maserati I wouldnt mind taking a look at for a DD. So many options, not enough cash :icon17:

Car looks great! Why not drive it as a DD, at least until the snows come? You built it - why not enjoy it?

yeah, Its so impractical for me though, not that a vette would be any better. Hard to fit full length servers and 4000 hdds in it between data centers. First world problems deciding on a weekend car I suppose lol. :icon17:

You didn't buy it/build it to be practical! Take out the passenger seat, you can fit a server there ;)

Hotrodz 09-24-2019 09:33 AM

LOL, you got compassion fatigue!!! It happens all the time. You poor your heart and soul into a build project and in the end you are wore out and the chase is over. It can seem anticlimactic. I have seen a lot of folks get to this point only to sell their once dream car. You got channel your enter Spooler and drive the chit out of it!!!:driving::driving::driving:

^^^What he said. LMAO. I have issues also dealing with it being over myself. You're not the first one. The only way to make that feeling go away is to drive and enjoy the car. Stuff is gonna break and you are going to get some patina on it. It's all in the process of enjoying what you built. So get your butt in the drivers seat and have fun.

You don't haul that stuff around every day. You can bring the Catruck the next day and do that stuff.

:iagree:
I felt like this every time I was done with a project. I've seen so many sell their vehicles right after finishing them. Craigslist is full of them. You'll never get out of what you put into it. Even if you part it out.

I have had folks argue with me that they would get all of their money out of it and then get mad about it. The world of today.

By the way, the Corvette is good but no where close to a 370z turbo. You can hide out and nobody is the wiser. A whole new douchery comes at you in a Corvette.

madwi 09-24-2019 06:41 PM

Maybe you guys are right, we'll see how it goes and play it by ear. I did take a little advice and drove it to work tonight and I still really enjoy the car. Idk, maybe instead of a toy I'll look at DD vehicle that has some fun elements to it. The Honda is great for putzing around town but something that has some enjoyment to it would be nice.

Spooler, I passed a vette on the way to work and the full head of grey hair driving it made me think I will wait a couple years before picking one up. :icon17: Plus, I want to see how the mid engine does before jumping all in on first year platform.

I have a large scratch on the rear bumper I havent had fixed because it is a reminder it is not a show car and is not going to be perfect.

Hotrodz 09-24-2019 06:48 PM

Check out the Veloster N. It cheaper and better looking than the Civic typeR. It has great reviews.

One reason I dont like to drive it to work, cause I gotta park it when I am just getting into the groove of driving it! I dont want to pull in the parking lot lol.

madwi 09-24-2019 07:42 PM

I have a set of Fortune coilovers headed this way soon, That should inject a little pizazz into the ride again.

Judging by the long slender leaves, maybe almonds?
