I am lucky if the UPS/FedEx box even makes it out of the garage into my house.

You are not alone.

I have the following waiting to be installed:
APS TT
k-member
gauges
exhaust

Had most of this stuff since last September. I got in on the first batch of the APS TT and they actually shipped early, would have never guessed that.
I had started a major renovation on my house in September. I have been very busy at work in the last 9 months, so I haven't had much time to finish the renovation. The wife would kill me if I started the APS TT install before I finished the renovation.

The renovation should be done in a a month, then I will take a vacation, then it will be surgery time for the TA.

For me it's more of a time problem, than a money issue. For many others it's reversed

And for the few lucky bastards who have both time and money... GO PHUK YOURSELF!!

I'm just the opposite. Once I get it, it has to go on the car right at that moment. The longest a part has ever sat in my house is a week because I had to wait for other parts to come in.

your not alone by any means. I will buy parts and wait til I have everything I'm going to be changing before putting the stuff on. I have a cam I swapping into my full size but I'm not swapping it in til I get a new intake manifold.

If you lack the time or money, at least you have an excuse. When you lack ambition is what really sucks. I keep building cars but have no ambition to work on them anymore, and the projects take for ever!
