I have an 88 Formula that I can enjoy daily but has a laundry list of things to do. One of which is to fix the AC.

I have an 87 GT that was ready for a new engine but stalled in the process. The Formula is the reliable Fiero of the two so it gets the priority.

There's the 2014 Dodge Challenger RT with the 6 speed. Nearly 4 times the power and more reliable than the two Fieros put together.

Then there's the 2014 Chevy Cruze. I can put a full tank in it and not worry about it for two months. I hardly drive it. My mom drives it more than I do.

The 87 GT has been sitting for 3 years now. Still waiting to put a new engine into it. Probably do a 3.4. Until then, the Formula and the Challenger get most of the new parts and toys.

I am totally in the same boat, I work hard and long hours and weekends and most holidays are just recovery periods. It also means that sometimes I have to have a shop do a fuel pump or a radiator because I don't have the energy but I have the money. But things like doing the tranny mounts, or the brakes, or replacing a cracked manifold, those are things I do. New struts and lowering springs for the front of the 88, me. Those are things that I want to do. But sometimes they have to wait and they will be worth the wait because I very rarely see Fieros on the road except for mine. The reward of having a Formula or a GT (eventually) on the road and reminding traffic that Pontiac once made cool cars will be worth the sore arms and shoulders while crawling around on the floor.

Hang in there.

Might taste good, but there would be negative effects!

Patrick- Who you calling Nuts?!!

Seriously, I can't emphasize the list thing enough; I have a list for my boat and for my Fiero (And one for the house)....When I am tired, I will just do the simplest thing- even if it is just cleaning up a bit around or in one of the projects....If you are really burned out, then just take a break for a day and go do whatever you want....Playing with a dog is great relaxation (Well, some dogs...)

I am at this moment finishing up replacing the timing chain cover on the 460 Ford in my Jet boat (1/2" hole while out skiing- 10" of water in the bilge ("Fun")

I had to pull the interior to pull the motor to pull the oil pan to pull the cover......Spent Sunday re-installing the motor and was kind of......"burnt".....So yesterday, all I did was bolt on the fuel pump and carb.....2 bolts and 4 nuts.....then walked away.
