i don't know, don't know where i'm going with this. people been getting to me lately.. a lot of customers and people stop by the shop and make comments like all the time must be nice to have what you have, must be nice to have a dad like yours, must be nice to be rich. etc etc. Saying i'm spoiled and blah. I work out of a 24 x 24 garage. I use the garage everyday for normal customers cars... i work on my old cars at night when i can push one inside when nothing is in the garage over night.
The cars i did get i paid for and did every bit of work my self, buying trading parts using other peoples junk to fix what was there and they all seemed to come together.. the cars that were given to me didn't come from good circumstances at all. My mom and dad had a nasty divorce when i was 17, tore the family apart and both parents went there own way. The cars i got because my mom said she didnt want half of them if they were going to me because the cars were where my heart was at. I sit here now with the cars i have and no family and no girlfriend after 3 years cause of w.e stupid reasons. did the best i could do. My brother is finally getting better, had problems with drugs since i've been 13-14. He had a kid i helped take care of. Finally getting him back to being right.
A new friend to me has a monte ss and 350 blew up, he took motor out and then took it apart couldn't get it back together right, he tried... hes 28 im 22. I told him bring it to my shop and a some pizza hut for dinner and i put the motor back together showing him stuff. Drop it back in the car one of these nights now. just to be nice.
I don't tell the people must be nice to have a brand new duramax, cummings or tahoe. A huge house and vacations all the time... I have my muscle cars for summer and come winter i drive a 97 escort.
I had someone offer me 15,000 for my 73 cuda and i turned him down quick as he said it. He said a kid like me shouldn't be in a car like that and no respect. If my dad trusted me enough to give me it i think i earned it. Ive been working in the garage for 10 years everyday. My hands are so beat up not even funny.
i dont know sorry for wasting peoples time i just felt like saying something. Main thing is don't open your mouth until you get to know someone. I use to judge some people.. some of those people are my best friends now. U never know
