Who else does there own work? - Long Rant

tireburner163 · 10-30-2001, 11:59 PM

I do my own work because I'm too poor to pay someone else to do it(I'm not talking about oil changes exc. I mean stuff like head swaps and building the short block) I don't mind people who know what they are talking about paying someone to put something on their car. But I can't stand people who have no clue about anything under the hood, but act like they do. These are the people who pay to have stuff like cold-air intakes put on and have their spark plugs changed.

I also don't like people who's parent's buy them a new SS and they smash it up 2 weeks later doing 90 around a corner trying to show out and his parent's buy him a new one a week later(true story!!!). I pay for every thing except my insurance which is $40 a month. And do you know what happens if I'm short on a car payment, does my dad bail me out, nope, I get to watch him drive my car and I ride the bus. Do I envy the guy in the SS, nope, because I know that one that(hopefully not to far in the future) I will be able to blow his doors off in a car that I built and that I paid for.
