I've been getting this feeling again 
I don't know if it's because I'm having trouble sleeping and I've been too tired to do much on the cars recently, or because it's been almost a month since pay day
or that my to do list is just huge. Like, ridiculous huge. I think I need a team to look after my cars.
Tonight I've promised myself I'll replace the Scirocco's fuel filler neck after work tomorrow. Somebody please make sure that I actually do it

IMO you have too many cars
I'd find it daunting and unenjoyable having to constantly be doing jobs on them all. If it were me I'd have one reliable daily car, then one toy. Your time and money would go a lot further then.
But please don't take this as me trying to tell you what to do or whatever, its just I know it would make me feel the way its making you feel

Although if you are going to have more than two cars, I find it quite handy to have duplicates

Ok so it seems if you plan to polybush your car but you don't have the time/energy/tools/expertise to do it in one sitting, don't bother even trying because your car will end up on stands for 2 years, dying a slow death..
I almost lost heart in my car after I spent all my spare money on a new bumper and new interior and then when I got hit by an 80mph badger, giving me another £300 bill, I almost scrapped it and sold all my parts. I'm so glad I didn't lose my temper and get shot of it though because now my interior is in and my engine and cooling system is all fixed, I love it all over again! Now I just have to re-save to get my bumper painted and fitted - the never ending story. Perhaps I should call my car Bastian, or Falcor..
