I am, but mostly because I'm to cheap to pay labor rates.

I'm a grease monkey by trade. Not only to I wrench on cars, I also work on M1 Abrams tanks full time!! And then have to test drive them. Not as fast as an Evo but tons more power. And here's my grease monkey pics.

Great monkey pics, niiiiiccce.

I wish I could get a lift, my buddy has one in his garage. He lets me wrench in there when I want to, but he's a muscle car head.

I'll do pretty much anything that I'm comfortable with lol. Pretty much the only thing I don't want to do myself is work on the internals... maybe the clutch if I can't find a good how-to lol. Sounds wierd, but I love do electrical work for some reason... I work on arcade games for a living
