Remember that you can always increase the entropy level of your
existing car collection, allow it to erode, and build it up again. I
like to think that I don't have more cars, but I have better cars, the
longer I spend grubbing around in my (ah) garage, or worse cars, the
more I procrastinate.

Well, some of us would think that "steady state" is a more appropriate term
