what got me into working on cars— no money to pay other people to do it. I mean come on, i drive a fucking cabriolet. do you think i bought that car originally in 1999 planning to do wtf i did to it. It just kinda happened. Wrecked it, no $, ='s fix it urself. While ur fixing it, motor swap it for bigger motor, and shit snowballs from there. The more you know, the more you want to do. The more people tell you you can’t do it, the more you want to prove them wrong. Plus, it is therapy.

I dont know how to do anything major like motor swap, etc. but I always find myself doing little bolts ons and fixing other peoples fuckups. Its fun to work on other peoples cars and gain experience.

Right now I have way too much shit going on to devote time to my truck, but I still enjoy working on cars when I get the time.

IMO doing it yourself is 60% of the fun. A guy I work with has put $10,000 into his RSX-S, doesn’t do any of the work himself, and still is barely in the 14’s. I get along with him and talk cars with him, but I don’t see the point. At least if he did the installs himself I might be able to understand. I’ve even offered to let him use my garage and my tools. I think there is a lot of satisfaction to be able to say that you built the car yourself.

The only frustrating thing is when you end up not having all the right tools, but that’s just an excuse to buy what you need and have it for future use.

Oh, and it also helps if your car isn’t a daily driver. :smiley:
