    When you have to write a paper in Project Risk Management and you turn it in about rust in a 1976 Maverick.

    Hey can't help it. It was about monitoring projects to keep them from failing and not ignoring risks. I view rust as one of the major risk of a restore. Like in a project, it is the risk you don't acknowledge (or you cover up) that come back to bite you. Same as rust in a classic car.

    Okay - I admit it, I need professional help. :cry:

    When ever my wife and I go someplace we always cruise the back roads and streets looking for another elusive Maverick :)

    We have a game that we play were we cant go home until we see an Edsel, old camp trailer and a Maverick. We see lots of old camp trailers and a Maverick everytime we pull in the driveway but if you think Mavericks are hard to find try searching for Edsels.

    A friend of mine is into Edsels so thats were that came from

    When your wife gives you that funny look when you proudly show her the 2 gold and 2 blue hotwheels mavericks you just bought to add to your collection of @ 30, had to explain that the yellow ones are all but gone from the stores and I only got 4 and I'll be wishing soon I had bought more of the blue and gold when there gone lol

    I don't think I'd qualify as an addict .. My friends think differently but I say that its just a "phase" I'm going through .. I've been going through this phase for 18 years now .. :) Cometized
