Ever fix something just to prove you could?

Do any of you do stuff like this? Drag something home and fix it, either to prove to yourself or someone else that you could do it? All the while knowing it makes no sense to fix it because you will end up with a war pension in it and when it's done it still won't be worth much. I know tractors are like that to a point. We fix old tractors because we want to...we enjoy it, not because it makes financial sense. Right now I have an old Dearborn pull type combine I'm going thru. I will have a fortune in it by the time I get what parts I need and fabricate the rest. I could buy a self propelled combine for less money, but that makes too much sense and it would be far too easy. I'm only doing it because I grew up with one and thought it was the coolest thing I had ever saw run at 5 years old. Do I need to seek out a therapy group?...lol.
