I ring up a car breakers about an Oldsmobile 98 they have in, I'm after a few bits like wiper motor and truck lock/rod for mine. Spends a while berating me for bothering to try fix up a '73 Oldsmobile 98 sedan. Before the end of the call he has managed to try and sell me a '75 Cutlass and I am trying to think how I might afford / store it... Like that but green. Been off the road 30 years.

You know you're a car nutter when: you call up the scrappy for a few bits and up buying a whole car.

I also love the customer service attitude of "I don't know why my customers spend their money like they do on these old things. Mostly they weren't even good cars when they were new"
Gee thanks.

I'm sure I saw an area of "lawn" that could be repurposed. Less grass to mow, too.

I can't afford it. I'm already kinda committed to buying the next car anyway. Then after that maybe got another one lined up. I need more storage, more money, more resources, more time.
