Its fun to "customize" parts and have to fabricate shit. No one told me how to do an auto to manual in my old hatch but i took the time to figure it out and now 3 of my firend have done auto to manuals in their cars. I love working on cars nothing makes me happier(well nothing makes me happier wiith clothes on.) I tried to work on cars for a living and just couldnt do it. It just wasnt the same I enjoyed it 100 times more when a friend would call and ask me if they could come by my house and use my shop or have me help them. I take just as much pride in my friends cars as i do my own.
