But then you flick that lighter and dream of torching the nasty POS that just ripped your finger nail off or stabbed three inches of broken steel rod through your arm.
I work on high line and Concourse d’Elegance cars; the temptation is still there, until you think of the OMG COST of repair on a 100 point Concourse d’Elegance car, sudden cold water of sanity on the burning frustration.
I have even taken a day off to decompress from some of the very bad ones.
Thankfully; most cars I work on are more than worth the effort, and I do love my work.
