I think a bike project of some sort sounds like a good fit. I definitely find bikes more relaxing to work on than cars - simple and easy to access nearly everything. Maybe a cafe or scrambler build, restore an old airhead Beemer, the aforementioned Ducati thing...
Or how about a cheap 4x4 build? I love going exploring in the Cherokee when I'm bored on a Saturday afternoon. Don't have to spend a fortune either if you don't have your heart set on crawling over cabin-sized boulders.
Also, hit me up if you make it down to Michaux. I'm just a couple miles from the north end as the crow flies.
Beater rallycross car build?
Pick up an old Sachs or Puch moped and rebuild/hot rod it?
Rebuild a old Porsche? Flip a house
Honda CX500 repli-Guzzi!
Snowmobile rebuild.
V-8 convert something that looks fun.
Heck, build a hovercraft?
Because someone else needs to do this.
The driveline and frame mods alone would make this a long road, though.
Sounds like you really need a self (or SWMBO) imposed mandate that personal/toy projects can only be taken on one at a time and must leave the hose X months after they entered the house.
Factory 5.
Y'all are forgetting: This is Huckleberry.....he's a renegade of time and space.
One might suggest a simple Snorklewacker assemble a car from a kit. A Giant Purple Snorklewacker? Well......that's a Snorklewacker of an entirely different size and color.

Those look like something you do after a terminal diagnosis.

No one here gets out alive.
How about a 22 yr old stripper with a coke problem as a girlfriend? The drama should take up plenty of your free time, ur extra cash once used for auto things can go to ur x wife, and all this will give ur friends something to talk about. Win, win, win. Do it.

Winner!

berkeley, if only. My wife would wreck herself laughing if I suggested this. She knows me TOO well.
Amy?

FOUR AMYs!...I couldn't figure out if the record is two or three.
Stop berkeleying around and get a kit plane. Oshkosh is at the end of the month. Get there, look around, watch the show, and go home waiting for a big box-o-plane to show up.
