Character is formed from your stance.

I didn't make it to the fabrication shop as planned...and at this rate, I don't know that I will before the end of the year.  It's odd how when I was a kid, I had all the time in the world to do whatever the hell I wanted to and didn't have enough to keep me occupied.  Now I can't seem to scrounge together a few hours to get parts to the right place.  It's discouraging...and it might be a sign that I need to change directions.

Distractions are everywhere...I'm considering buying a Notchback that I can drive and work on at the same time.  It'll satisfy both of my desires-driving a car I dig and working on said car.  I'm dragging myself, kicking and screaming to the conclusion that I don't have the time to restore Ferris from the ground / up.  Divesting myself of this project would allow me to sell off quite a number of parts and improve my focus.

I'm torn-I don't like giving up on things because it's too much like losing...I'm too competitive (even with myself) to let it go.  I'm also a realist and I know it'll be a good 5 years before any real progress is made at the current pace.  I'm impatient and don't want to wait that long...that's 5 good Summers of driving the car.

I really want a Variant-I like the hatchback design much better than the sedan...but I passed up one nice car last year and I can't help but think this is 'the car' this year.  What'll likely happen is that I will buy this car and two months later, an early great condition Variant will pop up.

Either way, I'm keeping the NOS Variant parts I've collected just in case I find a Variant I can't live without. I've always wanted a Notchback and a Variant but I figured the Variant would come first.  

Here's one of the two cars I'm considering:

All that's left is the pesky details and a decision...
