Then there's the other people..like you and I that are interested in how things work, ask questions to learn and think it's cool how you can fix broken things. Those are the ones you can let hang around. It takes a little time to get an understanding of who you let hang out and who you do work for when they aren't around.

Like any job and daily life..there's a balance of going through the herd of people.
You know it's kinda funny my uncle is a mechanic for general motors for over 30 years. And he tells me everything I do with my grand prix is pointless. When I did my headers and the cat back he wouldn't stop complaining. He's 1 of those guys that thinks a car shouldn't be touched or fooled around with. And it should just be left stock. I think he sees me as a stupid high school kid. I remember when Bill did my header install I learned quite a bit :-) Although I am the type of person that's afraid to take things apart because this is my daily driver and sometimes I can't figure out how to get things back together. I guess I should approach this with a more organized method.
