Working on cars alone VS having a few buddies around....

I like to work alone, maybe with the cat but no other humans. When I'm wrenching I go into a different mode and I don't like to be asked questions or talked to when I'm in car mode. I also get really picky about where bolts go and what order parts get put together.

The cat joins in but if he starts making too much noise then he's getting the boot.

Most of the time I turn the music up loud while working.
I enjoy doing some things alone; tweaking things, fine tuning, I don't want a know -it - all neighbor that thinks that have a bowtie degree to give me their thoughts... I had one guy come up and tell me I have the wrong pushrods, cause they weren't Hollow
