What do you do while waiting for the wagon?

Hello guys!
It has been more then year and a half since I bought the wagon.
It has been standing in various body shops and garages getting work done by me and others.
The question is what do you guys do while waiting for your wagon?
I keep hearing promises and problems of when and how it will be done.
How do you stay motivated?
I feel like I almost forgot what it even feels to sit in it let alone drive it.
Reading this forum and planing new upgrades help a bit but still. SO DAMN HARD TO WAIT THIS LONG.
I guess I just want yall to say that it is worth the wait!
But I surely know many of you have wagons as project cars for many years lurking in garages,
So let me know what you do while waiting!

Takes dedication to be part of any group, this is no different. Everybody here will tell you it is worth the wait. Just keep at it.
I always have multiple projects going on, so while I am waiting on one I start on another.
Supposed to pick up decked and bored block from the machine shop next week along with an Si head. Will attempt to put it all back together over Spring Break. The most important thing is to stick with it and try to get something done every day or at least every week. Even something small like cleaning the interior or removing rust from old parts etc.
At first when I had trouble with the car, I was super discouraged and wished I had never purchased the thing. After learning so much over the past 2 years working on the thing it's like we've bonded. I couldn't imagine NOT having it at this point. I'm excited and you should be too!
This little wagon will be my DD until I get my CRV back on the road.
I know the feeling, I had my CRV under the knife for 2 years..
H2B is no joke.. The H23 vtec swap took me to my limits..
I almost gave up a few times and posted it on CL twice...
After reading the forums and seeing the out come of others, I couldn't give up, I wouldn't give up.
$6000 later I had a 98 CRV 5sp H2B H23vtec, that was not even worth half of what I put into it..
It was fun while it lasted, I burnt out the tranny and rear diff....
Its so frustrating to see all my hard work and money, back on the blocks after only a year!!
It all seems like a wast of time and money!!
My love for Honda's and seeing my friends builds, in there different levels of completion... Keeps me going!!!
One weekend sitting in the passenger seat of my buddy's civic smoking some redneck in his "BAD ASS MUSTANG" and the next weekend off-roading in another buddy's Boosted B20vtec CRV creates motivation to get my build rolling...
We all know the feeling, the frustration and the discouragement...
In the end Its all about the memories, the fun, the busted knuckles, and friends you meet along the way.
AND TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!!
I have fun driving this. Part of the reason for the wagon delay was all the work/time/money that went into this while the wagon waits...
This civicwagon community rocks!
Hope you feel better soon..
I enjoy reading the progress!!
