Actually, that’s quite how I am.

iPod + computer speakers ftw (I don’t have any baller speakers yet ☹ ) :bowdown:

I sing along as well; if you see me on the road coming from work, you’ll  
usually catch me singing :ugh: 🤣

Yep, gotta admit I do.

Talking to yourself is totally fine it’s when you answer yourself that you need to go to the “padded room”. 😛

You also need to go to the “padded room” if you don’t read entire threads…

I take Joe Cocker’s “you are so beautiful” throw a couple of f- and a-words in there especially if I shred-bleed my arm or knuckles against rust…

it helps to relieve the frustration without going nutz… although when rust bounces under my safetys right into my eye (my corolla) - I freestyle too :o

I only talk to my car when something isn’t working out for me or I can’t figure out something. Other then that I’m usually head bobbing to the radio.

Sometimes I answer myself. But I rarly ask questions. I talk to my car sometimes. I only swear when i get sh1t in my eye working under it. I hate that. unless im wearing goggles then i usually quote simpsons. “the goggles do nothing” add a couple swears in there and im good to go.

I hate that. I’ve worn full face masks when attacking the rust on my 240, and some how it gets under/over the mask somehow. I usually keep a bottle of “Liquid Tears” to help flush it out with much swearing.

Also, I talk all the time. I usually ask how the car likes me when I break out the torches.

Lol I did have an evil laughter as I was chopping off the exhaust heat shield with the jackhammer (after getting the s8 in my eye)… then I bonked my head against something… can’t remember what though…

what sucks the most is I live about 10 mins away from both Universities in Waterloo so there is some nice looking women walking too and I’d rather smile and get a “hello” (maybe a couple of sentences too) than hold my head looking like kramer…

Ever tried going “f\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*ck” then smile and say “hello”? :lol:

I love DIY stuff - experience comes w/some bruises.
