1. Because it's far too valuable to be thrown away and "one day I'll fix it" or the day after I throw it out I'll need it for something. (Says the guy who can't even get in the door of his garage without moving boxes of stuff around. Although in my defense I do have a dumpster coming in a couple of weeks to...lighten...my treasure trove.)

2. Big Scale: 1969 International Scout 800. It's probably a lost cause but one day I'll fix it. Small Scale: 1957 Bolens Super Ride-A-Matic garden tractor that was my great-great grandfather's. It's probably a lost cause but one day I'll fix it!
