With all of the picker tv shows on the tube these days, I got to thinking about what all people collect.
I have started collecting the original steering wheels from the cars I buy and turn into street rods. When I get a garage (right now I am just using the garage on the house), I can place them on a wall in order that I bought them maybe with a before and after picture.

A street rod is a vehicle made before 1949 that is modified with modern stuff: bigger motors; newer trans; updated suspension, front & rear; a/c.
Following is a street rod plus definition: No known definition because it changes.

I don't collect anything specific, but i do collect a bunch of it...you have to walk sideways through my shop and garage! My daughter does have a specific collection however, she collects Bryer horses. ( model horses) She has over 1200, one room in her house is floor to ceiling shelves that are packed.

I have all kinds of little collections...coins, stamps, antiques, license plates, Hot Wheels and other diecast stuff, etc., etc.

I think if I sold off everything I've collected over the years I could finish the Essex!

I am a very specific collector ,I have refined my collection to just used parts that I think I might need some day.

My wife likes those Bryer horses! She only has a few though. She has been around horses since she was around 4 years old. She has 3 (real) horses right now (one paint, one quarter horse, and a mustang she adopted about 20 years ago).

I have a collection of diecast cars also and I am building my collection of old signs.

How do you dispose of a collection like that? Haven't seen any ads for ex wives for sale.  LOL
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

That's a strong possibilty. Of course what if she's not that great looking and doesn't have much money because you didn't have that much to share

I work with a fellow that started fooling around with the  neighbor lady (un-married, lived w/boyfriend across street) .. his wife found out. All said and done the ex moved in across the street with old boy friend of the gal my co-worker was cheatin with.  

the gal my co-worker was cheatin with ,she just moved out in january after 4 yrs and 1 son (oops) with the guy. No news on court papers for child support yet.  :lol:  , he is 43, she is 42 now.  Seems like they would know better behavior?
