I'm done pretending otherwise I just want to drive

Compelling. Bold. Brave.

>>29049006Same. I work a few hours to pay some dipshit monkey what would take and cost much more to do it myself.
>>29049006I love riding my bike but I absolutely hate wrenching because at one point in my life I was a mechanic for a few years and it made me hate wrenching. Worse is how I can't trust some knuckle dragging grease monkey working on my bike because my life depends on it. Competent mechanics seek greener pastures in this economy with how bad mechanics are paid, the only mechanics left are the worst wrenchers
bumping this thread because it did not generate enough angry responses
>>29049006You're a half baked cornball of a human being who's dumber than a bag of hammers that justifies poor skills by being a degenerate half assed "enthusiast" that couldn't drive himself out of an alleyway with no debris in sight. You obssess over a small part of a whole experience because you're a numb braindead short form path of least resistance addicted zombie chasing a snapshot of a feeling because you hardly feel at all like a black tar junkie trying to participate in the pedestrian aspects of life while not high off the supply. Stupid bitch. >>29050269

Uhh why would a nerd wrench when they make enough money to not wrench?
>>29050385its funt. nerd who wrenches
>>29050385At least for motorcycles, turn around time is genuinely horrible. I can do a valve adjustment in an afternoon, dropping the bike off to pay for it means it might not be done for a few days depending on who you have available to perform the work.
>>29049006>he's not a tinkering chadInstant fail.
>>29050384Throat my shaft soft hands>>29050385You will die unfulfilled and incompetent. All you will be capable of doing is breathing.
>>29049006>be me>wanna wrench on my car after sitting at a desk all day at work>nothing on my car is broken>nothing to tinker with. >Trying to do house projects rn so car shit has financially taken a back seat. >go in my garage and just sit on a stool on my phone for 10 minutes. >get bored and go inside. I enjoy jobs that take 1-2 hours to do and if there isn't massive rust or crawling under a car for hours on end. Other than just throwing thousands at bolt-ons there's really nothing for me to do.
>>29049006Back when I lived in a free country, I enjoyed gun collecting. I also did a little bit of competition shooting, enjoyed plinking, and carried for self defense. I was a gun enthusiast. When it was time to fix the FTF issues on my HiPower, I took it to a fucking gunsmith.I no longer live in a free country, so I spend some of my disposable income collecting shitboxes. I also do a bit of rallying, enjoy off-roading, and have my daily drivers. I am a car enthusiast. When it's time to replace my wheel bearings, I take my car to a fucking mechanic.
>>29050739I thought about it and it's not worth it. I'd rather just drop it off in the morning, uber home, play with kids in the pool, uber to shop at 5, then drive back.
>>29050385Wrenchers are wannabe nerds. If they were actual nerds they'd have studied in school and gotten nice comfy jobs so they can pay a mexican to wrench for them
>>29051096Imagine relying on other men. Heck. Imagine intentionally going out of your way to pay another man for something you could've done yourself. Must be closeted
