Default Starting to lose interests in my car

I know most of you guys drive your stangs year round, but what can i do to regain interests in my car. Now that i have put it up for the winter, i havent even started it up since Sept.24th. I also dropped the insurance since it will be covered under the homeowners policy for being stored in the garage.

I have enough room in my garage to do small projects(no heat).

When are you doing all the paint and stuff. Buy some billet interior stuff, or a new gauge cluster, something small you can do.

I had a truck than I had sunk $20,000 into not including the cost of the truck. I worked on it slowly for 6 years doing major work. The last project I did on it took 4 months working on it day and night and just really burned me out. In my opinion if you do a lot to it too fast, it gets old. I think if you take your time and don't go mod crazy right away, the enjoyment lasts much longer....and yes the truck is sold because of the loss of interest.

I drive my 03 year round, but in the past few months I've lost some interest just because I've been so busy with other stuff. So I found a project car (the 84 stang) to work on over the winter. The good thing about it is I got a 302 engine and c4 transmission all for free. so if something breaks it's not like I lost a whole lot it's fun and it's something I can take my time on because I don't have to worry about it getting me to work.
