I've been thinking about this for a few days now and how to express my thoughts adequately.
My original post was going to be more of a monologue about my own personal experience, but then I got to thinking about how it's not just the cars, but perhaps more importantly the role the "community" has played in my well-being.
So this thread is about and for anybody reading this post, not just me.
Spring is a time of hope, whether you observe it from a religious perspective or just the re-awakening of life after the dead of winter. So maybe it's apt that one of the things FFR cars and the FFR community offer is hope.
If you own a FFR car and are in the process of completing your project:
That is hope.
If you own an FFR car and you're looking forward to getting out driving again, meeting up with friends, going to shows, etc.:
That is hope.
If you dream of owning a FFR car and you're captivated, dare I say inspired, by others that have gone before you and what they've accomplished:
That is hope.
So thank you all for every post, every photo, and every bit of encouragement, opinion and advice.
It gives all of us, (including me) hope during this difficult time.
On social media I've remarked about the positive aspect of keeping busy (or distracted, LOL) to help pass the time.
I thank my lucky stars that I started towards my goal of building a FFR car well before this crisis. For me part of the plan is to rebuild my own engine for the car.
So as we while the days of self-isolation away getting my workspace ready, stripping down the engine and researching/coming up with a build plan for it is what's been keeping me going. I truly think that having this project is one of the things that's keeping me grounded and sane right now.
So that's it from my garage, looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts as well.
