Since we're nearly a week into the year and nobody has done this yet... let's see if we can get even remotely near 50% success rate on these! I'm aiming low: *Burn at least one full tank of gas in the GMC this year *Eliminate my pile of "parts for projects yet to be done" (ideally, by doing the loving projects) *Fully clean and organize my garage / tools

Get like 2 or 3 more ASE certs. Pay off Mac and Matco and just give Snappy 50 bucks a week instead of paying like 100 bucks a week to 3 different guys. Buy a drat toolbox, (currently work out of like 3 carts) Consider employment in warmer climates.

Terrible Robot posted:3) Don't let the depression win like it did last year. This. More specifically, stop loving getting depressed and giving a poo poo about a certain particular girl from 2013 who constantly hosed with my head and heart. I have yet to E/N about her in the chat thread and hopefully never will. Really not worth the hassle and my poo poo pales in comparison to most of AI's troubles. Also: * Actually, properly fill up the Crown Vic's tank now that gas is down to $2/gallon. At least once, I want to see that needle pegged on Full. * Fix the smashed in driver's side door. It still opens and closes fine, it just looks rough. * Properly clean and remove all the adhesive on the doors from the door trim I yanked off. Maybe once the weather warms up. *  Maybe actually go on a proper date this year if I can get over my lovely self esteem issues?

*Find a RWD/Manual transmission cheap fun car. (Not a miata). My step son is turning 9 this year and is wanting to learn how to work on cars so going to sell it to the wife as a learning experience. ;o) *New bike, so tired of not having a motorcycle for the last two years. *Fix dent in my truck (thanks you loving tree limb) and learn how to paint with platidip until I can decide on a new paint color for the truck. ** Finally clean out the garage from moving clutter and install some storage and make it usable for car and wood/metal projects. 20x40 detached garage not used for parking only for projects and it's packed with crap from moving in 2 years ago.

I sucked at this last year. 1. Become debt free, or at least knock out everything except the remainders of the largest student loan. 2. House actually turned into a house of sorts, with heat, and 3. All body work and suspension repairs done on Forester, plus a new carpet and drivers seat. 4. At least one jeep project "completed" (i.e. driveable in the form I want it to be in, insured, registered, inspected.) #1 and #2 are why I'm aiming low this time around.

I'm being very hopeful. 1) Drive the car. 2) Don't spend more than my current "nice to have" value of the car (7k) on repairs/tuning/etc. 3) Do at least 3 trackdays without major issues (IE: requiring new engine/clutch/transmission). 4) Get the car painted or wrapped or dip it 5) Get rid of the Talon parts/carbon hood.

- Keep the MS3 looking nice. As I have no off street parking this means being careful about where I park it, keeping on top of getting any damage repaired and keeping it in a fairly presentable state - Buy a proper house with proper off street parking and somewhere I can do very simple wrenching. This will supersede the first point. - New job. This could be either just a new title/job description for what I'm actually doing or an actual new job somewhere else.

I think that these are the same as last year, I just keep it to the AI goals. Get the exocet finished enough to get it registered and drive it to work at leas once. Fix the outback and sell or drive it. Build the 2.6l and put it in the STi. Get a cage in the STi. Finish the bosozoku truck so that I can register it so I can drive it around town. Buy a big enclosed trailer and take a car somewhere hopefully racing. Fix and Rewrap the Fiat Ride the motorcycle more or sell it. Don't buy a new vehicle in August this year like the last 4 years. Sell the cop car. Sell a shitload if car parts that I have collected. Either pay off 50k of student loan debt or buy a piece of land for my AI paradise.
