Most aren't willing to make that first step Many can't. My old man used to say, "Some people shouldn't even own BBQ tools." How these types gravitate towards motorsports is amazing to me. We've all seen and heard them tho...standing by their garaged, freshly armor alled machines, telling their idiot friends or otherwise unknowing, the stories of riding and wrenching prowess!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't wanna tackle those types of projects anymore. Had a buddy do that to his old poo two years ago. Fucked with it all season and squeaked 2 sets of pistons before he just gave up.
