Talking Related to Diesel Compulsion: PACKRAT DISEASE!

I strongly believe that OCD (Obssesive Compulsion Diesel) often results complications, most likely, Packrat Disease.
Every year I go through the motions of cleaning my garage only to end up recataloging my prized collection of odd Mercedes W123 parts, running from Emblems to Window Regulator Mechanisms, two spare seats, 120 different types of Bolts and fasteners, old clusters, wiring connectors, air conditioning lines ( worth their weight in gold!) and even noting more things I would like to have.
Belive me, being a Packrat has saved my A__ more than a few times in a quick repair! Once I bought a SAAB and found this heavy clunky wierd metal thing that looked like a washing machine foot in the trunk. I thew it away, but a last minute reflex led to my retreiving it.
I put it into a Miscellaneous Box.
A month later when i went to do the brakes I discovered tha the Tires had wheel locks. Where was the wheel lock key? You guessed it!
Moral of the story: Being a packrat pays off BIG TIME. Dont sell it on EBAY.
