I haven't worked on my Datsun 510 in a while. It's sitting in my garage with the Z/L-hybrid engine sitting in front of it, waiting to have a new clutch and pressure plate assembly installed.
I can't help but think that there's something keeping me from working on my car. And I don't mean my commitment to my family... I mean something internal. It's like... I have this weird phobia about finishing the project.
I dunno. I get a huge rush whenever I finish small projects. I like the feeling of accomplishment I get whenever I stand back and look at the thing I've created or fixed. This car project... it's different. It's like, I'm afraid that if I finish, I might be disappointed in the final project.
