George - I had a similar experience just yesterday. I wouldn't be able to
afford the car I had before I was married, so I bought something a little
older. I had a 1957 Ford convertible before I was married but to get another
one would be a little pricey so yesterday I bought a 1928 Model A Ford. It
is fully restored to original specs and quality and in museum condition. So
there goes my slush fund probably for the rest of my days. O well at least
my wife approves. That's more than I can say for her love of rusty old
engines.

On Saturday I bought something that will seriously put a stop to any engine
buying by me for awhile.

Didn't buy a tractor, but did buy a car.

Bought a 1964 Ford Falcon.

Many many years ago, back when I was in high school, I had a 64 Falcon
Sprint 260V8 and 4speed.  Had that car for several years until Uncle Sam
wanted to give me a free trip to southeast Asia, at which time I sold the
car and went into the Air Force instead.

Back in my pre-married days I also had a modified 65 Comet Cyclone, which
was the fastest car of my youth.

I've been married 40 years now, and the cars of my youth have been calling
my name and I couldn't resist buying another 64 Falcon.  

Although this one is much more modified than anything I've had in the past.

This one has a 351V8 that has been dynoed at 425hp, and rest of car has been
modified to handle the engine.

So after buying this toy, it will take a looooonnnngggg time to rebuild my
money account for new toys, unless I sell a few of my current engines and
tractors.

George

Ps.... anyone want to buy an engine or two????
