ok, this won't come across as very 'manly' but I don't like working on any kind of car, new or old. I never really got the car bug. Or the carpentry bug. But I tell you...since I live in Reno NV we get the 'hot August nights' festival once per year and there are some amazing pieces of rolling history/art that come here. I know nothing about them...but they are amazing.
Now guns...i could talk about until the wee hours of morning. and have a gunsmithing and reloading bench set up for working on them.nosce te ipsum

My old truck isn't that kind of truck...yet maybe one day. it is just my cheap daily driver. As for guns, i have gotten back into them as well. In fact i am taking my old 6.5 Swedish Mauser to the range tomorrow. i guess it sort of fits...old truck, old guns...maybe i was born in the wrong decade.

Well guys, I'm interested in all things mechanical, but things just keep getting more and more complicated for amatuers to work on. Like a lot of people, I've had a lifelong interest in cars. When I was seven, I could identify most of them in the dark just by looking at the pattern of the headlights as they approached. When I was in Canada I loved watching the old, beautifully restored cars cruising the roads most weekends during the summer. I'm going to get myself and old car or a bike one day and have it purring like a kitten. Another thing on my to-do list.
My dad has a 1976 Mercedes 450SLC that he stripped bare and rebuilt. It was beautiful until he just sort of let it go. It's still sitting in his driveway and hasn't turned a wheel for about five years now and I'm hoping that he's noticed my enthusiasm and lets me have it one day.
I like guns too but it's almost impossible to get involved in this country legally after what happened at Dunblane. I can't say I blame them, but it's another example of the bad people ruining everything for the rest of us.
