So when I bought my house last year, I tried to find a place with a larger garage to take on a project like this. I even bought quick jack to help.

Boy was I wrong about taking on a project myself. I bought the house, had my second kid, and took on a new role at work. Now I barely have time to eat and take a piss.

Once the kids are old enough to turn a wrench, i'll have them help with another project. Maybe a miata or something that they can enjoy as a learner vehicle.

Down the road, when the Z eventually blows up (hope not, but **** happens). I'll buy something already boosted (STi, M3) and enjoy that until my days frees up.
