Q:
Need to change the suspension bushings. While I'm in there "might as well" do the entire suspension. Since it's winter and the car's not running anyway, might as well look into megasquirt. Might as well do the turbo swap with the megasquirt. As long as the motor's out, might as well paint & detail the engine bay. Engine bay looks so good might as well.........
Anyone can drive a new car.
A:
might as well get a fully balanced titanaim rotating assembly and get an alluminum block

"Might as well" is a common side effect to owning a classic car. Might as well turn the computer off and get to work.

Isn't "might as well" French for "while I'm at it"?

That's how my Bro and I ended up with a full tube chassis instead of just a "back half" car...... Next thing we know all that's left of the original car is the outer skin of the body! LOL!

While I'm changing the oil, think I'll just have the engine blue printed.

When you get a chance check out my 77Z. Oct 03 Z car of the month. That started out as, "I'm just going to scratch the paint and apply a new coat so I can use it as a daily driver." Then one day I noticed it was down to bare metal. Then I noticed that everything in the reassembly was new. Hey, "might as well." Make it easy on yourself and just surrender. Good luck.

my tranny was havign problems. "might as well" get nice cat-back, downpipes, ecu, boost jets, pop charger, 1-piece driveline, new oxygen sensors, 99JDM front fascia, HKS ALC, and a used JDM transmission. 4k later and now i need new shocks, need to calm down on the "might as well". going to have to start fixing things that only need fixing, "might as well" is going to kill me.
