[DeTomaso] philosophical question

[GW]

Larry and I have talked about this many times. I have other old cars I 
drive and enjoy. They all need stuff and I am afraid to lift a finger 
till this Pantera is on the road again. I just keep patching the others 
to get by. With my Pantera, what started as a little maintenance became 
a full restoration.
