first off, the oil cooler kit is a generic kit... it is not "made for the car". Mike didn't feel confident about the fitting/line combination they gave us, so we used something else.

secondly, it is about time. I live up in Orlando now with only a 20pc tool set or whatever it is. I don't have the tools to do it myself up here, so when I come down I usually only have 1-2 days to get everything I need taken care of.

Finally, we are in the middle of moving (and have been for about 2 months now ) and the garage is barely accessible. My dad does all his own work to his car. I mean fuck, he gets bored and takes the engine out of his car so he can look at it. Someone like that is the last person who is going to "waste" money at a shop if it isn't neccessary... So for the past few months even he hasn't been able to do anything.

We don't just show up at a shop and let some random mechanic do work on either of our cars. Both of us have our own shops with one or two people that are allowed to work on the cars, because we trust them. Besides myself, my dad, and a few friends, only probably 2 or 3 mechanics have ever touched my car. I used to be one of the leaders of "fuck mechanics, do it yourself", but now that I am in school and working I just don't have time for that anymore. It isn't about being lazy, it's a combination of things. And when I need things done the right way the first time, there's only one man to take it to...Mike. he has never let me down.
