My wife looks at it like this, it's cheaper to let me buy these garage sale beauties and work on them than to pay a psychiatrist to get me to stop.
I put a 3-bike rack in the back of my pickup truck just for yardsailing and hitting the second-hand shops.....and I wear my goofy cycling related t-shirts on my romps just in case someone notices or recognizes that Stingray and says "hey, I've got one of those in my basement! Wanna buy it?"
