I just turned 30 and have tried for 8 years to build a car.

5 years ago I made a promise to myself that regardless what happened in the future, I would have the car started by the time I turned 30. Try explaining that to a new wife as one of the conditions to getting married... I am not sure if she just loved me enough not to say "no" or if it was the fact she saw how many GUYS look at the car at every turn (hence, she may be driving the car more than me)...Luckily I have a great wife.

As with most things, the longer you wait, the more you learn. I must say, though I normally have the patience of a 10 year old, I am glad I have waited until everything was was in place.

Collecting a piece here and there while waiting for my ERA to be produced, I should have it finished by the years end.
