David Freiburger has an expression:
"Don't get it right, just get it running!"
He's taken some crap about that because people think he's saying to not bother getting it right.
But he's recently explained where it came from.
A running, and driving, car motivates you to get working better than one that isn't on the road and, thus, never gets finished because you will NEVER get to the end of everything that needs done.
That's not to say that the list of things is infinite.
It's saying that the list of "get it right" is daunting and people despair, lose motivation and stop working on the car until it disappears under boxes, blankets and trash in the garage.
How many YouTube videos are out there of some CarTuber buying such a car from the person who buried it in their garage or abandoned it in a barn?
So, get it running! You can work on refining it as you get to enjoy the project at intermediate stages!
Ya don't get it Runnin and pretty soon it's a weight machine, with laundry hanging on it.
ReplyDeleteThat would explain why one neighbor's VW bus is a storage unit that never leaves the garage while another neighbor enjoys his Bugeye Sprite on sunny days. None of mine have spent more than a month out of service.
