They have all talked about wives complaining (or in Bansil’s case, helping build) about their karts minis etc. Vt started an addiction, Josh had to sell something, functional artist stole his wife’s shoe for building pedals.
Edit: I’m just joking around with these guys, no one actually called anyone out, except for maybe the wives themselves…

If someone doesn’t teach ya, you learn by mistakes. Thank goodness my grandpa was a mechanic, he taught my mother to take care of her car, even if he didn’t teach mechanics. There’s this YouTube channel called ‘Just Rolled In’ I’m not sure why I watch it, it‘s kind of mechanical torture. The premise is the worst things mechanics have seen in the last week or so, condensed into 3 minutes. Things like bullet holes, goopy oil, blown up engines etc. Then the end has a pallet cleanser with a classic or something else special. All suffice to say, no, you are definitely not the only one!

I've got a pretty good local mechanic. He's worked on my cars since I was 16. He's the only one that's ever quoted me a price and then charged me less, so he earned my business. These days I barely see him since I do most of my own service. BUT he'll still help me out since I send him a ton of business. Most of the time if he does something for me less than $50 he'll just say to square up with him next time. And he knows I'll drive myself crazy reminding him because I hate to owe people money.

There's been a few times I've called or text him just for advice. "Hey I accidentally broke off the bolt that holds one of my coils down....and I've tried to tap it and broke that off as well. What's the safest way to get this thing to you without effin it up more?" There's been a few times I'm sure he's spent more time than he charged me for. BUT, he knows my whole family, half of my friends, and what they drive. So it's washed out in the end.
