I'll give you another reason. Many people build one and get the bug to build. For years I was a 2/3 build, 1/3 drive. I would build one and drive it for a year or two and then get the urge to build another. All of this working towards my dream originally to own a CSX, but then modified to own a Kirkham. Today, I'm much more about the drive, but still enjoy tinkering and upgrading.

Good answers, all.
I can't help but wonder however, that after spending the better part of five years building my engine from the block up and finally arriving at the point financially that I can make my dream come true, that I'll lose interest or worse, never enjoy the car in the first place. I can't imagine that happening though...

Talking

We sold the Kirkhams in order to pay off our mortgage. We are now debt free & saved about $60.000. of future interest. Tough decision, but I'm not sorry. Don't feel sorry for me as I still have have a pretty nice 70 SS 454 Chevelle for street & Bondurant Mustang for track.

PW comes under #2. "I" is a plurality and encompasses "my wife (or ex-wife) is making me do it."
