My friend’s dad was the same way with old outboard motors. His basement looked like a museum. And he always had at least one motor hanging on the tailgate of his pickup.

Hey Brian,

If it keeps him young, it’s better than a pill for OCD. Right??!!!

Looks like Freddy Kruger’s garage!!

Everyone has their “thing”.

When I was a kid I collected commemorative NFL gatorade bottle caps.
I grew out of that.

My wife collects credit cards, (mostly, maxed-out ones), but that’s an entirely different issue.

I could use a 2 stroke guy like that in my neck of the woods. Hes got it down!
