If the Northern Tool catalog excites you more than the Victoria Secret's catalog, you might be building a teardrop.

When you spend at least 20 minutes a day doing a search for "Crab" on eBay, and buy every piece of crap that pops up...you might be building a teardrop.

Jewel, you came close to this one:

If you get out of bed at 3 AM to get a new design idea down on paper that's been running through your head all nite, you might be building a tear drop.

And,

If you're in the dog house because you put your wife's car out in the driveway and the garage is now littered with lumber, steel, and tools, yep...you just might be building a tear drop. (or in my case, the carport...and it's a TTT, or TT, or is it just a T? Can't keep Chip's designations straight!!!).
Dale

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

If the only papers in your wallet are reciepts from Lowes and Home Depot ....

If you get more excited than a little kid on Christmas morning when the UPS truck pulls up to yor house ......

If you are profoundly depressed when the UPS package isn't for you ...

If you drive 350 miles each way to buy a utility trailer kit ...

If your wife refers to the T&TTT forum as "that cult"...

If "getting lucky" means finding a local source for 1/8" bendable plywood ...

If you keep a digital camera on your workbench ....

If every T-shirt you own is stained with Titebond, Gorilla Glue, Spar Urethane and Uniflex ....

If you've ever paid $90/gallon for paint...

If you spend hours browsing marine parts web sites, and you don't own a boat ...

If you know how to find things in Lowe's better than the people who work there ...

If you have friends all across the country and in a couple of foreign countries whom you have never met ...

... YOU JUST MIGHT BE BUILDING A TEAR DROP!

You might be a teardrop builder if:

Every T shirt is ruined from glue..

There's a pile of parts in the living room..

The guys at the lumber yard mutter under their breath as you poke through the veneered ply...

You use the phrase "you know, those little round trailers" in conversation..

Good thread Dan :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Doug

You keep trying to think of a teardrop equivelent to "the mile high club"

You hear the word tongue and think something different then everyone else at the party

You get a tear drop to haul all your cast iron ... oops wrong group

You make a car purchase base on how it will look with your trailer.

The pinewood derby car you build with your son has a trailer attached

You've ever googled Kit mfg

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
