I used to enjoy wrenching, now I just do it to save some money and also to know it was done right. Last really big job I did was changing all the shocks and springs on the Miata, that was a few years ago and I think I would pay to have it done today although maybe not. Thinking of putting some coilovers on it and it would be a lot easier than spring/shock replacement, especially since I've already done it once.

For real, I am pretty gullible you know...LOL
Yes for real. I saw a picture of one once. It was fiberglass (I think) and looked like a Cruiser with a round front end. Of course it only had one axle and it was near the back but pushed forward a few inches. It didn't have windows except for on the two doors and they were near the middle.

Cool, I might need to check into one. It would probably be more comfortable than the couch when I mess up at home...lol

Yep we've got a couple like that. My '88 Isuzu Trooper that I rebuilt from a bare frame 10 years ago for Overlanding style trips. It's about to get a new engine out of another one I have.

Mama Squatch's '99 CRV with 200+K miles just got a little work done to keep it on the road a few more years.

I personally don't have much use for all the electronic nannys and BS on the newer vehicles. I grew up driving automobiles not video games. Add The obscene prices and heart attack at the dealers is a possibility.

Last year I did score on a slightly broken in, 10 year old, like new Toyota Tundra. I paid about 1/2 of the original cost and it had 43k original miles.

I'm getting old and losing my interest in laying on the garage floor as well. But I still do way too much of it. With a few exceptions I've had way too many problems over the years paying others to do the work.
