    Started with a beat up firepower I planned to use the cab and parts for building my own. Ended up partially restoring fp and in the mean time picking up another 5 although I sold 2. Still have not started building one ha ha. Still a pipe dream though. I think proc can make it happen

    Quoted from DanQverymuch:

    Meh, I held at two for almost 20 years before things got crazy. And those two had been heads off in the garage, backglasses stored inside for a long time before my dear, now departed wife bought me the Funhouse for Xmas '08 and officially initiated the descent into madness.
    On a practical note, how could it not start with the first one, technically? I wonder if anyone ever started with a shipping container full? I suppose it's possible...

    I know of someone who did this (started with shipping container). Divorce going on around same time - not sure if it came before or after the order for the container full of pins though.. hmmm
