I just read a post at BON that really pissed me off & when I re-read it, I thought, "This guy sounds like some arrogant snob Bullitt owner who's probably never even done major work on a car." That got me thinking - Are there any genuine gearheads in this forum? I don't mean someone who can replace a waterpump or put new plugs & wires on, but has anyone here:
Pulled an engine
Swapped a cam
Rebuilt a carb
Changed drum brakes
Upgraded an ignition
Welded an exhaust
Rebuilt a tranny
I don't ask to see how much more I know about the actual mechanical workings of cars, but rather to gage how many people pour blood & sweat into their vehicles. I guess that BON thread just reminded me of some Impala SS owners I've met who look down on those of us with ex-cop cars like we're wannabe's, yet they have to take their BeaSSt in just to get the Mobil 1 changed. Screw that! If you like the car great, don't dog others because they prefer something else & work hard to make it that way. That's the end of my meandering post. Just curious how many people work on their own car.
