There is snow on the ground, it's cold as hell, and every year at this time I get the "need for something new". I don't even have the last truck I bought back in Michigan. I have a couple clean starter vehicles sitting around that I could build. I ordered a 2011 Camaro SS convertible (for my wife) a couple weeks ago, but I am really feeling the need to buy something new for me.
Barrett Jackson is next week, and although I have "business" reasons to attend, I have not booked a flight yet. I think I am afraid of buying something over priced on a impulse.
I think maybe a drag radial LS power something would fill the need. I keep looking at drag cars, even though I own a pretty fast little truck that I use once a year. There is a new cylinder head available from GMPP for LS motors, and I keep thinking about ordering a set of them for my Canyon. The problem with them is by the time I buy all the supporting components, I will have $10K in them. They, along with a cam change, will add over 100 hp to my current engine package. That is a big improvement, but I am not sure they will fill my need.
I was at a friends collection last week, and he has a beautiful double black LS6 1970 El Camino. It is completely original, and perfect. I think maybe I want something like that, but I am not sure I would use it enough to enjoy it. I have always wanted a 1970 Boss 302, but it would be the same as the El Camino. I see so many classic cars that I would like to own. I am afraid BJ would drive me more crazy than I already am.
Does anyone else have these "needs" every winter? They are killing me because I just want so many different things. Usually once the weather warms up some it settles down, but it is sure hard to deal with now.
