When you find a 413 block tucked against the wall in your shop and you thought it was a 318!
 
Ha ha, perfect timing .
I'm in the middle of going through and cleaning out a 30 x 50 .
We are selling the property soon so I had to get with it. Lol
 
When you find five Carter carbs, complete suspension for b-body, 3 boxes of brake pads for a body disk brakes, 5 sets of points condenser, 3 distributors. And I just cleaned one corner of the garage.
 
When you fill a 6x10 shed and then...

...build an 8x12 shed, fill that, and then...

...build a 26x30 pole barn, fill that and then...

...buy a 9600 square foot warehouse complex, carve off a 1760 square foot 4 stall "garage" for yourself plus two 12x20 storage units for parts, fill that and then.....



(...and still don't have enough to keep your truck out of the weather)

Real muscle cars.
Prints from Tom Fritz
Nazi swords and daggers
Some action figures
Spy/Action novels
Guns
Watches
Schwinn Krate Sting Rays
DVDs Blu Rays
Engines
Women (Nope, those days are past)
Corvette memorabilia

I justify it because I don't spend money on travel like a lot of folks my age

I recently found a Richard Ehrenberg electronic conversion for a low deck. Totally forgot I had it, was surprised when I opened the box "wonder whats in here..."

My problem is I have a 25# garage with 35#s stuffed in it.
 
I told my brother I would loan him a kids four wheeler, I looked for two days, found on pallet rack behind a snowmobile. In my defense, it is a small ATV
 
I have a 3600 foot warehouse I rent. My new Dodge Van and my retirement are going to my landlord! I've become a victim of my stuff!
 
Guys, stop beating yourselves up.
There is a therapeutic effect when collecting and tinkering with mechanical things. Some men like us just need to have these things to feel complete.
Some women have multiple pairs of shoes or knick-knacks on the shelves, we collect car parts.
If you don't have to move a transmission to take a bath, you're doing okay.
