Goals? Hmm...
Let's start with tax time sell off. Time for a few cars to find new owners.
Sell the Alero, Sebring, Suburban and possibly the truck.
Trying to sell my wife on the idea of a TDI Jetta or Passat. 4 door diesel car with great gas mileage. Might try and find a Mercedes diesel. She'd like another SUV that she can drive every day but that ain't gonna happen. Try the bait and switch if she won't go for the VW.
Fix the 1987 Toyota Supra project, again. Must install a rev limiter this time. Sand it down smooth and put on a coat of paint. Find another '87 up 350 Roller engine, a HOT cam and swap over parts.
Replace the passenger side fender on the Escort from where someone hit me.
Sell the '99 Alero, got @$1500 in it, sell for $2k on CL.
Sell the '98 Sebring Convertible, got @$750 in it. Sell for $1k
Sell the '93 Suburban, got @$1800 in it, sell for $2200
Sell (?) the 1989 F-350 Diesel Dually Crew Cab, got @$1700 in it. Sell for $2800.
Sell (?) the 1983 Mazda RX-7 Convertible, got @$1800 in it. Sell for $2500 or keep it. The rotary really winds out with it's low rear axle ratio, so even though it's just 1.3 liters, the mpg aren't great.
Put some 14' rims and tires on for the '78 Pinto. Wet sand it then buff it out nice. Take off the metal fan and put in a relay controlled electric fan. Replace the timing belt and change the oil. Check the fluids and prep it for the car show circuit.
Replace the battery in the jet ski.
Find a diesel RV or a camper I can pull behind the truck easily.
Install a better filter for the ponds. Get some lilac bushes to grow around the top pond.
Stop screwin' around on the computer so much!
Take the kids on more vacations.
Cut monthly expenses.
Work less.
Drive less except for recreation.
