I Have Not Betrayed His Teachings

David Freiburger has a saying, "Don't get it right, just get it running."

The idea is that a running car is one you will drive and if you're driving it, you will be motivated to work on it until it is right.

The AC fix is a running example of "getting it right."

I hope he forgives me doing so on my mobility blob®.

A 2012 Caprice PPV is too new for his tastes... 

Update:

I just realized that I kept it running for a year and a half without fixing the AC and, thus, followed his philosophy.  A running car with a problem gets you motivated to fix on it.

I remember The Biscayne SS being relegated to it's spot and decaying away because I didn't feel like working on it when I had The Precious to drive.

    I also like the phrase "first, make it exist. Then, you can make it good.".
