I'll let you guys decide ..... then you can share your own stories. My college apartment, share it with 2 roomates, view from the front door. Where is he going with this you might ask. the hall closet is where ![](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c302/1Fast68/addiction003.jpg) I was worried about my old, rusty and snow covered dana 60 housing sitting in the bed of my truck overnight in the parking lot, so I found a nice place for it with the hot water heater. The roommates are unaware of it and how deep this addiction runs within me. It will probably be there a couple weeks before I head home again. I take solace in knowing I'm not the only one that does things like this ..... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/image_294343.gif)

I have a new fiberglass bed cover for my Dakota stored in our finished, walk out basement, right next to the HD TV and surround sound system.
in our dining room, I have a rear disc brake set sitting on the floor, and next to that is my new clutch.

All my new valve train just went to the shop last weekend. I have stored go fast goodies in the house since I started messing with cars 20 some years ago. Closet is still full of parts for a truck I started redoing in 95'. 1 house, three girlfriends, 1 wife, 3 dogs, 1 barn building, 2 drag car projects (1 that I finished), numerous house repairs or improvements, and probably 20 different vehicle purchases later, and I still have hope that I will find the desire for a lifted truck that is useless in my everyday life other than guzzling gas. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Oh yeah, it has a 440/727 and dana 60 front and rear. Yeah the addiction can get the best of you, but hang in there little buddy..............You have a large support group right here. Beep

I polished all my stainless trim for my 63 Dodge on the island in the kitchen last winter and stored it all under the bed. The pistons/rods out of the 440 got thrown in the dishwasher when she was working a late shift the other night. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif) They came out looking really nice! I've had brake rotors, cylinder heads and front suspension components stored in the closet over the winter before. The wife doesn't like it so I usually slip it in and put it in boxes where she doesn't know what it is. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)

While in College I lived in a dorm (3rd floor) I had a complete 440 and set of tires/rims in my 2 person room. The most $$$ end & coffee tables in the building.
