I don't have any kids yet but that will probably change within two years or so. And I always considered that to be the end of all my hobbies.

However I think if I "KISS" I should be able to have a couple cars and kids too. What I can't stand is the thought of my kids growing up with all my sh!t on jackstands, versus riding down the road or going to school in them.

Even if they look rough, at least we can all enjoy them--and this mentality should help keep restorations realistic and projects enjoyable.
