I have been slowly building my racing odds and ends collection. From Miss WInston to contingency stickers and NASCAR magazines with the 71 car on  them. At one point, I had one of the largest privately held antique radio collections in the country but I had to thin that heard. I still have a few, but not nearly like I did. At any rate, I am decorating the new office. Nevermind the cat post. :) My wife collects stray cats.

Showed this Mrs. Floating Doc, she suggested: "trophy wives". She's my first.  My reply was, "Yes, one and done." 25 years together, 23 married.

It's not that I collect cars, it's that people keep offering them to me and I don't know how "no" works.

In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon :

I have Datsun parts. No Datsun.  

I collect emotional stuff my parents and grandparents left behind.  My dad’s drafting tools, fishing stuff, his antiques, old home movies, and my grandfathers stuff he made as a woodworker.  My Italian grandma’s sausage stuffer and her pasta machines.  

General stuff I can’t throw away.  My grandfathers 1930 Lindblom High School year book.

Mechanical Clocks.

I've got about 40 of them ranging in age from the 1890s through the 1950s

I just picked up another one last week. 

It's a Simples Time Recorder from the 1920s. 

Similar to this one.

Weirdo Italian motorcycles, and apparently guitars. And according to my wife I also seem to provide homes to Needy Vehicles.
