The problem with passion is that most time its like a fine wine whose fermentation must be carefully controlled. Do it incorrectly and you get vinegar. I burned myself out on working on Diesels and cars in general and one day I said enough is enough. Too many long Saturdays and Sundays I should have been spending on my family. Too many lunch hours sneaking off to junkyards. Too many mornings rising early at 5 am to fix stuff.. I even invented this new ID ( i used to be carrameow) to help my addiction...I think I'm over the hump now...
I told myself, come on now, a car is just as about as important as a refridgerator or a microwave, its just a consumer appliance...

The only problem is that your factory sealed brand new car will get old someday and maybe I wont want to pay someone a lot to fix it or maybe I dont want to wait in line 72 hours to get my brakes done---I will cross that bridge when i get to it---after all some marques offer loaners..
