Then there was a Gambler 500 Rally (An arguably $500 car running 500 miles of back-road checkpoints) that I needed a car for so I got a slightly wrecked CR-V with a bent frame.
Luckily my son-in-law got me access to a frame machine to get it bent back into shape. A quick paint job in the driveway, some accessories bolted on, and a little work with a Sawzall and sledge and it was ready to go...
Now I think that I can spend a couple months focused on the Fiero and some Boxster projects.
