Thread: Are you addicted... to working on cars?

I just recently in this last year started to learn how to work under my hood.. I love it, time fly's by, although there can be some times where you want to freak out because things don't go the way you want them to go..
But just out of curiosity, what is your favorite thing to work on while working on your car? wether its from working home a audio system and upgrading every week, or working under the hood, or working on your interior.. You should post some picture of what you guys have done to your car, doesn't matter what it is!

I love working on the motor when its out of the car lol

i am not.

i have a loose heat shield and a sqealing brake pad on my drivers side and i've driven the car to and from work, parked it, and not cared until the next day. i'll fix it all when i change the oil. whatever.

my favorite thing to work on: suspension. it's quick and easy. although, it's dirty.

I hate the s**t but I refuse to pay someone to do something I can do.

REDCOMPG--

^^ This.

I hate paying a shop $100 an hour for labor when I know I can do it myself for free.

And working on cars usually becomes a social event for me, as I'll invite a few buddies out to hang. Invariably it means one guy is working and the other 2-3 are standing around.

I used to be super into it and it would excite me. Now I do what's necessary and help out my friends if they need it.

I actually enjoy changing the oil. I've also got a squealing sound from front drivers side breaks but that'll wait till next oil change.

It gets old fast. I enjoyed it at one point in time then after awhile that feeling dies down.

Plus when your friends and family realize you enjoy it... They come to you for everything.

I still work on my own, families or help out friends when they need it.

yeah thats true.. my brother is really good on working on cars, my entire family and friends go to him when we have problems.. Thats why i had to learn, because there in florida, and i moved away!

hey you did it, im so proud of you

i enjoy taking random photo shoots with my phone

Since I just recently got into actually trying to do stuff on cars I don't have much experience. And when I need help and want to learn something new I go across the street and have a mechanic guy who does a lot of my family's car work help me out and I try and learn so I can do it on my own in the future. Honestly though, I enjoy doing wiring stuff.

I do love working on cars and refuse to pay anyone for work I can do

As I've been told. Considering it's my retarded self doing it it will take longer lol. I actually have a trans mount that is broken. At least it looked like it, so there's something that needs done asap. Not wiring
