      Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?


      I have 2 Dodge rams, and a Mustang we use as DD's

      I have 2 projects, one runs...

      66 Plymouth $h!t box
      88 Nissan Pulsar $h!t box

      when I get a house the Nissan will get gutted and turned into a little race car, engine upgrade, roll cage and so on...could be a fun way to spend my retirement money

      The Plymouth...well...I am considering rolling it off a cliff...I regret ever grinding the bondo off of it..should have left it alone and just drove it...oh well...eff it

                No kidding. I thought you were lonely up there...if ever you are, just go sit out in the yard. If your unfinished projects nag at you like mine do at me, the noise will be deafening. :D

                My list will include for both my wife and myself but of course most of it is my fault.

                Drivers (registered and insured):
                '88 Chev dually pickup
                '92 Jeep Cherokee
                '59 Impala

                Driveable cars which currently just occupy garage space:
                '71 Challenger

                Former drivers which were once nice but just sit and deteriorate now:
                '84 Chev crew-cab dually
                '96 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
                '67 Mustang
                '70 El Camino SS

                Active or semi-active projects:
                '67 Camaro
                '72 Corvette
                '64 El Camino
                '78 El Camino SS
                '88 Jeep Cherokee
                '75 motorhome
                '69 Jeep Wagoneer 4x4

                The rest:
                '62 Dodge Town Wagon 4x4
                '79 El Camino
                '49 Studebaker pickup
                '37 Chev pickup
                '86 Corvette
                '90 Toyota Supra
                '86 motorhome
                '62 Jeep 2wd pickup
                '63 Jeep 2wd wagoneer

                I think that's all of them. A year ago there were two Blazers, another pickup and Wagoneer....anyhow so currently it's 3:21, or rather 1:7. Not healthy but as soon as I ever get rid of one I just get something else.


                Whoops, I forgot the '52 Plymouth wagon. So, it's a little less than 1:7.

                Damn...I went and looked and there's another Cherokee. It's just for parts though. And a BB Duster which belongs to a buddy but is my project. Also, in answer to the obvious question: 2 acres fenced, locked, alarmed, dogs, and someone's always home. Life might actually be better with less land and less stuff.
                ...

                    In my own defense, I don't have a big back yard anymore.

                    Driver - '03 Crown Vic.

                    Driver/Parts/Takes up space - The blue Montego

                    Project - Tan Montego (avatar), even though it runs and it's currently registered it's not drivable.
                    Just groovin' to my own tune.

                        Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

                        Technically infinite as presented (DIV0!). Three drivers and no projects (assuming project is defined by non-running or non-driving status.)

                        Less technically, 2:1 if you count my Chevelle as a project and not a driver or 3:1 if you count it as both.

                        Ideally I'd like to keep the ratio about 1:1 with many, many more cars. Just need more money and space (and to stop moving every 2-3 years.)
                        1967 Chevelle 300 2 Door Post. No factory options. 250 ci inline six with lump-ported head, big valves, Offy intake and 500cfm Edelbrock carb.

                            My drivers are my projects, and vice versa .....

                                Drivers:
                                02 Accord (wife's car)
                                02 focus wagon
                                01 F350 4x4 diesel

                                Projects:
                                69 mach1
                                54 Belair (driveable as is...)
                                84? Ranger pick up 302/aod - should be driveable as soon as I get the trans figured out

                                Storage/parts/donor:
                                84 econoline I got free with 302/aod/9" that has made a semi permanent home behind my shop.

                                If I start counting engines like Randal's counting the OHC Pontiac six - my list would be nearly as long as Todd's vehicle list!
                                There's always something new to learn.
