Think it comes from my aviation background. When I was doing airshow routines and racing I would drive my mechanics crazy insisting everything was exactly as it should be. It kept me alive!
Looks like this mindset has carried over into my "Old Age" hobby as I do not fly competitively now.

Kenny,
If a car fails, you coast to the side of the road.
Airplanes?
Different story altogether.
I understand your pursuit of perfection.
Years ago, I was studying to take my NASD licensing exam.
When asked by my boss how I did after taking the exam, I said I missed it by 4 points.
The response was "too bad, you missed passing by 4 points?"
I responded "no, I missed 100 by 4 points."
After a moment, she turns to me and says something I will always remember.
"in life, it is best to strive for excellence, not perfection."
She was one smart lady!
Enjoy your car and pursuit!
Glad to hear your response, as it sounds as if you actually are enjoying both!
I will see what items I can locate.
Marty
