built vs bought....

I will be honest. A few years ago I loved spending all day under a car and bent over the engine bay. Now work, family and life get in the way. If its something I can knock out rather easily or in a few hours I dont mind doing it, but I am getting to the point where I would just rather drive than wrench and I find the wallet coming out. But then again I have merely a covered car port to work under and even then I sometimes have to move the car out into the open so I have more space. If I had a worshop and a lift I likely wouldnt mind as much.
 
Just keeping up appearances,...it's tough,....but somebodies gotta do it.:cool:
I'ma prick , He's a prick, She's a prick, We're a prick,...wouldn't you like to be a prick too?

Hey man, I think the other kids aren't too hip to our club. You think they think they're better than us? Frickin snobs...
 
This thread inspired me, now that I'm on break for a week, to fix up my BMW. Changed the belts and oil yesterday, and a ball joint today.... getting that ball joint out and the new one back in was hell...LOL Thanks, guys!

Kidding aside, I probably did save myself $150-$200 cause the labor rates they charge over here are pretty bad. If I can get one tomorrow, I'm going to figure out which Wheel speed sensor is acting up and replace it. The only thing left that I'd want to do after that is replace the front quarter panels since they're beat up from the signs that keep getting in the way.
