How true. I've probably put about $1500+ of purchased parts on my older SLC in the last year, maybe more I don't keep track. Suspension, steering, A/C, rotors/pads, ps pump, ect.... Still needs some exhaust, flex disk, timing chain(soon), and then whatever else pops ups.
If I had to pay labor costs that would have amounted to triple or more the parts costs. As long as I can repair myself, I'm willing to foot the bills. Otherwise I'd have to reconsider it's value vs. expenses vs. enjoyment
