Who else USED TO wrench outside?

I don't mind so much working outside itself as not having smooth level ground and a wide enough area to work. Where I currently live I have a driveway that's about 40' long but barely 8' wide and it's all broken and uneven. I also have a detached garage that is insulated but the lighting sucks and I barely have room to work with all my parts and tools in there. Next place will have 2-car garage minimum.

I did once have my '93 Cherokee crap out on the way to go skiing. I was able to coast into a parking lot and got to work. Thought it was the fuel pump, nope! Then tried crank position sensor, still no go. Finally after a couple hours of blind-firing the parts cannon I somehow figured out it was an ignition problem. Turned out the distributor rotor straight-up broke, D'OH.

I also replaced the entire front axle assembly in that same Jeep in winter in my apartment complex parking lot. Almost got evicted due to that but where else could I do it? "We've been getting complaints from tenants about the safety of your car being on stands like that and auto repairs aren't allowed according to your contract." Idiots. I later realized I could have just pushed it out to the street in front because in Denver it is legal to work on your car on the side of the road. Oh well, not like I'll ever live in an apartment again lol, not for me.
