I believe there is balance to aggressively modding/repairing any car, trying to push it to far beyond your experience, skill and knowledge base usually ends up costing you alot more than having a pro do it.

Having a pro do everything, also leaves you poorer, and with out gaining very much knowledge and experience in the process.

If you really want to be a full time wrench, get some school and or real experience and be a full time wrench.

For myself, DSM's are just one of my many hobbies; therefore the amount of time, money and energy that I choose to devote into DSMs is tempered by wisdom and the "look" I get from my wife who doesn't really "dig it".

I have a 60 hour week job and just don't have enough resources to be a "hardcore", so for me it just makes sense "to be a wimp" and have SOME of the DEEPER projects done by the pros, and try to pick up some tips, and knowledge on the way.

There's a fine line here between "being a wimp" and not doing any work on your car, and "being a fool" and getting in WAY over your head and wrecking your ride cause you think you know more than you really do!

Like most things in life, balance, realistic introspection and wisdom are the best answers for most of life’s successes!
