    When you get older, you pay to free your time. I used to DIY everything...including my homes and a biz website. Now I just pay up and get what I want.

    The only thing I DIY today is the racecar squad. If I die from a suspension failure taking a turn above 100mph, I want it to be my error.

    I refuse to die from the hands of a 19 year old with an Accutane dependency and a fresh WyoTech degree.

    Vanilla frees up more Stalin time compared to a SanFran dude brah. Time is worth more as you age.

    Or if you’re a lazy piece of shit like me you do this anyways with anything you can. Fuck DIY.

    One of the rare wise posts on HH. Bravo Zulu.
    Trade time for money as a kid. Trade money for time as an adult.

    I have some friends that try to give me shit for paying to have my car serviced.

    "You paid $300 for that? Dude, you could have ordered the part online for $30 and installed it yourself. Put your car on some jack stands, remove the oil gaskets, drain the fuel injectors, and then use a series 903 torque conversion ratchet to take off the mounting brackets. Then you just unscrew the old one and screw in the new one. Take you maybe 2 hours."

    Yeah, fuck that shit.
    Cars are pricey. Good mechanics are rare. Pay them well..

    My shop is a bargain compared to German dealerships, but this is every millenial kid's response to a race inspection (required signed inspection before entering any paddock) after I tell him what he needs to fix before race day.

    "I already paid my $300/day race entry fee! I only budgeted for a $100 inspection."

    "I read a forum/FB thread that said it's only X amount of hours/labor!!"

    "I can't pay you until next month? Can you get it ready for next Friday?"

    Not without a few Gs my guy. We won't sign your inspection without the repairs. We race too. Your car is not safe.
