I grew up with buddies hanging out at the shop all night working on all kinds of projects. Since I've grown, nobody comes over any more, I don't have kids to help me out and it just gets boring working in the shop by myself...
I really enjoyed being around guys who liked cars and enjoyed wrenching.
There's a guy up the street with some army trucks and a half-track that he's always fiddling with. I could probably go hang out at his place but I would never get anything done on my stuff...
