The year is drawing to a close, which means we reflect on our many failures and resolve to not to pull that crap again. What's your automotive New Year's Resolution?
Like relapsed alcoholics, we make the same mistake over and over again. Rather than pour more time into our current project cars we instead spend this time looking at Craigslist for new ones. No more. This is the year we finally sort out the electrical gremlins, swap in those new swaybars, and strip off the fading reflecting tape. It's about time, dammit. Every time we feel the urge to type "Ford LTD LX" or "FJ60" or "Fiat" into a search engine we're just going to go to the garage and firing up whatever is in there instead of lusting after a replacement. If we can just limit ourselves to one more project car this year we'll consider it a victory.
Don't be a New Year's Baby, step up and make a real automotive resolution.
