No one touches my car but me.

All the welding, bending, bead rolling, machining, carbon fabrication, damper valving, corner balancing, engine tuning, etc is done in my shop. Not because I'm the best, but because I love doing it, I learn constantly, and I'm too cheap and picky to pay others.

 

...... and there's no one to blame but you, when things go horribly wrong

 

Nothin' wrong with that.

 

Not sure if that's a cut on me or Junky but funny either way.

 

That's more a philosophical statement than a judgement on skill level.

 

Did you weld your own Volks too?

Sorry, that was a low blow

 

I hope so

 

I can appreciate that. I Enjoy doing my own work as well. I would do more if I had a working shop. Somehow I find a way around my cumbersome work space, but its a buzz kill on the creativity.Wish I could execute more, and quicker. There is a real sense of pride and satisfaction in doing our own work, especially when its something unique that you have created. Not everyone is creative or knows how to execute it. Some people can sure throw allot of dollars around though and never know that real satisfaction of putting themselves into the project.

 

Such jealous pessimism

 

No, but I was thinking of the Volks after Ray's post.

I finally took the tires off the Volks on Friday - I still can't believe that wheel stayed on the car all the way to the pits. So lucky.
