    I'd tell myself, it doesn't make sense to want to modify your daily driver. Just keep it nice, keep up on maintenance, and save your money on more important things... because there are certainly more important things when you're just getting on your feet.

    Yeah this is brilliant. I had such a hard time working on my cars because I didn't have the correct or quality tools.

    My other advice would be to not cut corners. Spend the extra time and get it done right. And, don't buy the GP.
