What's your Driver to Project ratio?

[squirrel]

I visited a car friend today, he has a bunch of projects sitting around. Got me to thinking about how some of us always have more ideas than ambition...

Anyways, what's your ratio? driver cars / project cars. Drivers are registered/insured/driveable. Projects are cars you're working on (you've done something to make them better). parts/storing are other cars that litter your yard, but aren't yours, or you haven't and wont fix them.

Let's see how I'm doing:

Drivers (including wife's stuff)
55 chevy
59 chevy truck
70 dart
99 prowler
08 truck

Projects:
57 one ton
57 suburban
59 pickup
61 belair
75 Travco

Parts cars/storing for others/misc:
40 lasalle
53 jeep
56 suburban
68 chevelle
82 camaro

I guess my actual driver/project ratio is 1. If we add the other crap, it gets worse: 1/2

How are you doing?

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

I'm clearly sucking hind tit on this scale. Two drivers: 71 Mustang, '03 F-150 Harley truck which may not quite yet qualify but I have raced it (slowly) and bolted on some speed parts.

No projects, no room. Sad.

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

hmmm-1? seems like 2 to 1? 1 project and 1 "parts cars/stored" for each driver-seems like it should be 2 to 1 ratio

Drivers:
05 MINI Cooper S
06 Acura TSX (wifes)
2000 chev 2500 Express Van

projects:
67 Fairlane 427 drag pak clone
1977 Chev C60/Oleyenik car hauler

stored/parts cars

NONE

so what is my ratio? how do you figure it?

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

Drivers:
'77 Skylark
'72 Centurion
'67 T-bird
'87 Jeep (does this really count? I just abuse it...)

Projects:
OHC Pontiac Six engine..... --Should this really count as a full number?

I'm going to go with 8:1

My drivers are also my projects.

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

Drivers: Monte, Mirada.
Project: Mirada

Guess I'm doing just fine. I agree with Rebel...I have no place to store 'em, so they have to stay running.

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

At my (parents') house, or just my cars?

Mine:
Drivers:
'98 sebring
'73 Charger

Projects:
none

Parts:
'98 Stratus

At house:
Drivers:
'09 Avenger (mom's)
'00 Avenger (brother's)
'99 Cirrus (dad's)
'99 Ram
'98 Durango
'98 Sebring (mine)
'73 Charger (mine)
'68 Coronet (brother's)
'99? Camry (sister's)

Projects:
'66 Charger (brother-in-law's)

Parts:
'98 Stratus (mine)

My ratio is 2:0 without parts cars, 2:1 with
the house ratio is 9:1 w/o parts cars, 9:2 with

Although I still consider both my Charger and my brother's Coronet project cars because they're never really done.

Re: What's your Driver to Project ratio?

I also usually bring up the Driver-to-Project-ratio when talking to friends about cars.

My dailydriver joke;
'88 Opel

Drivers:
'57 Chrysler Windsor
'60 Chrysler NY
'62 Chrysler NY wagon
'65 Chrysler 300 convertible

Projects:
'57 Plymouth Belvedere
'59 Dodge Coronet
'64 Chrysler NY salon - (Trying to sell)

Last weekend I pulled in another project in the shape of the '59 Dodge so my ratio dropped a little I guess. I think I'm still pretty much 'on the ball' with my schtuff, eventhough I also have a long list of things I want to do on the drivers.
The biggest projects yet to tackle are the '57 Plymouth and the '59 Dodge.
The Dodge will get done first.
