assembly of the car. Nice job on the car, by the way. I will have

girlfriend will then ask "Why did you buy another car kit - you'll
never build all the ones you have now" (I stopped pointing out some
of the new brass I bought and I don't think she noticed that I now
have 6 gallery cars instead of 3).
