If you look for a project vehicle, get one with the best body you can afford unless you own a body shop. Mechanicals are much easier to do and probably less expensive. In the long run it is better to get a vehicle that is done or close to done.

Why they have classes for that. It is called proctology. Anyone up for a colonoscopy?

I suspect that is not what you all had in mind. Gynecology maybe? Of course in both of those you have to take the good with the bad!

Years ago, I told my wife I would be a gyno, and only hand my business cards out to prominent, beautiful women. She laughed.

My mind has changed a lot about all of that since those years. I no longer want to do that for a profession, or even a hobby. Maybe it has something to do with having 4 girls in the house.

That will put a damper on it. "Dad, I'm out of Tampons, you need to go to the store to get me some."
