espresso for the depresso

 

We all got a friend with maxed out credit cards.

They tend to have the coolest cars too

 

Huh... you know I actually do have a friend like that. My cars aren't cool though, that's why I own em

 

100% hahaha. Glad its not me

 

Gotta be careful though, I spend too much time with him and I get real close to just checking out all the 10 different shopping carts I have full of truck parts and upgrades
Instead they sit idle as I’ve limited myself to one upgrade a month.

Speaking of which it is a new month…

 

bold of you to assume we all have friends

 

Fucking geese squared up to the rhino

 

What kinda secret code is this?

 

It was literal

Brought little man to the zoo for his birthday; screw parties and big gatherings

 

Yes that’s fair. It’s just insane how much money you can save even just buying your own parts, not even necessarily installing them yourself.

 

Businesses have a lot of expenses, with employees being the largest expense

Then they have to account for bring-backs, vehicle's that may actually have to be looked at/diagnosed/fixed if there was an error on the shop's behalf

You need to account for staying afloat for those slower months, make up what you can when people come in for repairs during tax season

There's a ton of shit that goes into it that should make someone like you, that lacks the mechanical aptitude to work on said vehicle, the tools, the time, the space, and pay a shop as they are accruing many costs you can't even fathom covering yourself

 

Yea that’s why I found this one guy just starting up his shop to work on it. He doesn’t have much overhead at this point.

 

I'd be wary of finding the cheapest place you can find to get work done, the first clutch job I had done on this truck in 2016 I did the same thing and found the cheapest quote I could. They installed the damn clutch disk backward. Getting them to own up to it let alone compensate was like pulling teeth for months, never did get fully reimbursed. Basically paid double to have it done at a reputable shop afterward.

Never looked for the cheapest quote ever again, quality costs money

 

Happy birthday Theo!

 

Saw my first Cybertruck on the road today, goddamn those things are bigger than I imagined

 

And fuglyer! Some one down the street has one and boy are they proud of it.

 

I had the opposite opinion, smaller than I imagined

 

He is knocked out; was a long day!

 

Is on teeny tiny tires though, which makes it look a big like a fat guy with skinny legs
