    I need to make some shelves like that! I have junk stacked up that I haven't seen in ages, simply because it's all piled up. Nice collection, btw!

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Lol i like my addiction, even though i only have one mav. But everyday i build one in my head. Today i built one powered by a navigator dohc 5.4 with a pair of rear mounted 80mm turbos running 8psi each. If only had the money to build these cars i have in my head. Also ive though of building a mid engine one using a wrecked ford gt or gt40. And also a street version of dyno dons 427sohc monster. Im off to buy a lottery ticket...

    It's all good. Old cars are like potato chips, you can't have just one. As a self professed Fordaholic, I can relate to your Madness. I am trying to sell one of my 8 classics right now and it is like pulling teeth. I really don't want to do it but know I should. I may need therapy when I see it go down the road with someone else at the wheel. It was so much easier buying them.

    Where's your Sprint?

    i can say i'm exactly the same way. when it comes to having one mav and still being addicted. about the lottery ticket though, its funny. i just saw on the breakroom tv right before i left work where some guy won the lottery twice in the same day. he got a thousand then bought another card and won a million. Boy if i was him id be the most addictedest person on here... and id pay to have addictedest made into an actual word. addictions are when you're hooked on stuff that's bad for you so far as im concerned. and i've never known my maverick to be bad for me. it doesn't cause cancer ( or at least, shouldn't after i patch that exhaust leak and get rid of the lead based paint thats probly on it. ) i don't have to buy my parts from a shady lookin punk in a hoodie on a street corner. the only way its related to an addiction is they can be money pits... but isn't it worth every cent? :D i think it is.

    Didn't you at one time have your Sprint listed on Ebay? I remember you having one for sale. Also, didn't you buy a Pinto Sprint parts car at one time on Ebay? Maybe I am thinking of someone else. Don't you go by Raymond something on Ebay?

    There's no such thing as addiction, right? You only have an addiction if you admit it. If everyone tells you that having that many Mavericks is a problem, just accuse them of being jealous. :rolleyes:

    I have 13 parts cars,a Mav,A Comet and bunches of parts.I'm just not near as organized,or have as much storage.When I'm more financially stabilized,I'm gonna start buying up stuff again when it pops up reasonable.If there's any left by then....
