Just pulling your leg, John At least your getting more work done to yours then I am (got the time, got no dough...
) If work is getting in the way of your wrench time, just move up here, we are closing in on a 20% unemployment rate, so there is plenty of wrench time
On a more serious note, I found this linked to that last vid (has a pretty accurate description, IMHO):

That sucks man. I know all too well about the work 2x as much, but mine was for half the pay I got when I started. Well, that was when I had a job... I worked 2 1/2 months last year, that's it. So far this year it's been 0 weeks. Well, no job as in on the books and for someone else. Working out of my garage has slowed way down too because no one having money to fix their cars, and either I do too good of a job that their car doesn't break, or because of them being jobless they don't drive them enough to break them. I kid of course on the fixing them too good. I don't think there is such a thing if your an honest person. Honest people might not come out with as much of a padded pocket, but you keep a better clientele and get better word of mouth advertising which is worth its weight in gold. I've been eying your car for a while, so I can't wait to see some vids of it running
