Lol.

I really do work a crap ton of hours. Too many things to do and not enough time.

I know Mike and I can easily afford to pay someone to build these things for us, but it takes away from that feeling of accomplishment.

It would be a bit different if I still worked at a fab shop. I wouldn't have to worry about getting my suits dirty.

the costs of paying someone else to do this type of work is too expensive, i would never be able to justify paying that kinda money. the majority of shops are under qualified. and those that are qualified, are very expensive.

so i've learned to be very careful with which shops i trust and work with

PREACH!

I feel like I've been building my car for way too damn long, but I refuse to pay someone else to do it for me. I may not be the best at building cars, but I trust myself with my own safety far more than most of the people here would. So many sketchy shops in Vegas.

That whole town is sketchy duder. That's why I rarely interacted with anyone when I lived out there.


So hey, what are you doing with those nifty TEs now that you've got your new wheels?

Nothing. They're just spares.

I will still be running my gold VSXX on this car.

The TE's and LMGT4's were just wheels I wanted to own.

Haha
