I subscribe the the "while I'm there" mentality because of the huge labor overlap for some of these projects. Plus I like to repair my cars for the long haul.

The only time a person does't do things like that is if they just want their car to limp along. If a person's car is that far gone to follow the patching strategy, then that person should consider getting a better car. So, you're correct with saying "Anything worth driving..."
