Referencing the 1965 GT upper Steering Column Bearing Retainer thread;
"....that should be good for TWO GARAGE POINTS for MustangSteve. 1 for the screws and one for the part."
MS
Garage points are a creation of MustangSteve, a humorous way of keeping track of those "give aways" we do while clearing out junk from our storage(garage) or helping a Buddy out with rare otherwise unobtainble stuff or junk from our garage
MustangSteve deems it worth a garage point for each part freely GIVEN away (giver paying shipping not required)
There is no actual score board anywhere other than in each of our own heads. It's just for grins.
With that being said;...MS yer scoring is backwards.
Now I haven't reached this conclusion haphazardly or with out contemplation and consultation.
Location. Hotel room during the Ovila Bash....Daze, 6sally6 and I(others were there too??) had an afternoon's discussion on garage points and how to score them. Later according to MS we were crossed up on the scoring.
Location Cruis-N-Bash, A further discussion with Mr.Tim, t(Terry), j-kb and I. We came to the same consensus. We all agree Even Mr.Tim. MS has it backwards.
Now hold on thar MS, don't get all puffed up....first contemplate this.
What we really are doing is finding a way of rationalizing the giving away of precious items (junk) we've saving/collecting/hoarding/to lazy to throw out, that are cluttering up our garages. Results of the Old Packrat Syndrome...Dang, I got's OPS..... And while I think MS concept of "Garage Points" is truely ingenious, His method of rewarding the GIVER wth 1 Point, a High Point system like Football, Basketball, Baseball, & Fighter Ace, Misses the mark. Cos we ain't patting our selves on the back for being a Giver or Good Samaritan, No! Nope! Neyet! Nunca!
The real way is a LOW Point system, like Golf. With our OPS and Garages being our Handicap.
We already have too much JUNK. IE a high Point total. Each item does have a value of 1 point, too much stuff=too many points. Give an item and it's 1 Point goes with it. The object is having a CLEAN Garage, with the Unobtainable Perfect Score of ZERO!! VIOLA!!
And while sellng stuff does reduce the volume of what we've gathered, it rewards us with cash, no extra credit there. And it don't have that satisfaction of having a Good Score.
SO SORRY MS, You may be the Origionator, BUTT We the practitioners, and Denizens Of the FYI Forum, Are the Perfectors.
"Garage Points" is a LOW Point Total Game.
