Now if you are one of those people that has the $$$ to do it then congrats to you, I know on more than one occasion that some of the jobs and the time constraints have made me wish that I could just pay someone to do it, I know B-man on here has been in the same boat and has paid local shops to do jobs he could of easily done if he had the time (other users too).
I think true DSMers, pride themselves on being able to be in the built not bought category most of the time. Plus if you have put anything together yourself I'm sure you know of the happiness and pride you have in whatever you have built, not just cars.

I am not mad, just making an observation...this site has always had that feel to it from Day 1, I am used to it now. I love to do stuff myself, and if I have the tools to do it I will for sure try!
Typically though, the stuff I have paid shops to do, it is cheaper to pay for labor than to buy the tools necessary to do it.
Also the car used to be my daily driver so I needed it done right and quick. Now with me having a back up car, I will try more stuff, because I agree doing stuff yourself is awesome! Nothing feels better than doing it yourself and having stuff work, puts a
on your face.
John is for sure an extreme on this though, most people can't do this themselves even if they want to.
Enough off topic, i was just commenting, no more clutter here.
