    I can relate, I tore the convert apart in winter '99 after owning it for about 3 days!  The only thing that saved me was . . . I have another!    :o  :o  ;D   8)

    How's this one for ya..

    I bought my car in October of 1998. It was a basketcase! I've never driven it! :(

    Since then I've managed to strip the car down to the shell and start replacing rusty sheetmetal. I've had a few distractions in the meantime - bought and sold our first house, just moved into this one in December.

    Before that I made myself a promise to finish my high school diploma before I could start playing on the Challenger again. I finished my accounting course (1 full credit) in 1 month! :)

    Now that I have my own big garage to play in I can finally start working on it!

    You guys that have been posting updates on your own progress have been a huge inspiration for me to get my butt in gear. :) Thanks!
