How much time per day or week do you spend looking for your next car(s)?

I find myself spending way too much time looking for the cars I really want, and perhaps it's due to me being very picky, or maybe the cars just are all gone (like dried, up, gone, whatever...)

Anyways, how much time do you spend per day or week looking?  :popcrn:

I don't spend any time looking for another car. -- My fear is that if I looked for a car I might find one. :slap:

The last couple of years were spent selling two of my cars just to get room in my garage to do any kind of work at all.

  I like to watch the market  ,keep track of prices , see what's out there . :scope:  spend a few hours a day looking through the sites ,ebay etc

             see heaps I'd like ( nice 71RT  at smokymountain   :lol:  )

but just have to keep telling myself "that to get one I've got to sell one"    

       I don't like the selling bit     :rofl:

SRT-440

I spend several hours a day looking for 2 cars. 1 being a '69 charger and the other '74 Monaco...out of the two the Monaco is 100 times harder to find.
I've found several chargers in the $10K-15K range and zero Monaco's.
People say they want to sell, then when someone like me comes along with cash in hand they chicken out..its like they just want the attention. Rant over. Lol

DAILY!!!!  sometimes I wander  and think how much I can get for my 68 so I can do another project up or try to have 2 2nd gen charger as projects to keep me busy then I realized my new project is gonna cost as much as 3 medicore 2nd gens so its always a toss up ONE BADASS CHARGER or 3 mediocre ones that hardly run  :shruggy:


guess I chose the one badass one...

I never look.  Gotta finish what I have before collecting any more.  


The fleet of old cars never dries up.  It just gets more restored & expensive over time.

I look daily locally....just because you never know what might pop up.

Here is a good reason why you should always have your eyes watching the classifieds for a project car:

I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

I'm always looking maybe an average of 1 hour per night, 3 nights a week. I have a pretty broad search list that is 100% Mopar, but not just Chargers. I scroll through stuff very fast to cover as much ground as possible in minimal time. Having a broad list of interest and being ready to pounce whether I am really ready to add to the fleet or not has allowed me to net some real bargains. After all, the chase is half the fun.
