Discouraging

In so many ways watching YouTube will make me curl up in a ball and ask Harvey to sell my tools.

Mike Finnegan is making a drag and drive Cadillac and...

The stuff they just casually do and all of the tools and expertise on display!

Yeah.

That's not me.

I don't have the money to get the entry level versions of those tools to begin to cultivate the skills; let alone the gigantic space needed to have all of those tools.

I can't do what they're doing and I never will be able to do it, so let's just drop the facade and get a Honda?

He's not inspiring me, he's making me feel inadequate.

The one channel that was making me feel like working on my junk was Saturday Garage. 

He went out and got a job!  Now he's too busy to make videos.

Plus I am recovering from Moxie going unreliable and replacing Harvey's car.

    He is funny and turns out good results.

      I've watched him before. A steady diet gets a bit repetitive, but he's fun.
