>>28472875People don't want to actually do the work. They're not true petrolheads. They love the idea of "fixing up cars and mcgyvering solutions that work", but they can't even get their "dream whip" off a pile of bricks 10 social security checks and many months later - isn't the car essential to a "normal" life in America?
As you will be disappointed to find in life - most people are completely and utterly full of shit. Real petrolheads build a motorbike out of a wrecked Peugeot in the desert, real petrolheads put their life at risk just to beat their personal record around a racing circuit, real petrolheads don't ask for applause or riches - they do it because they WANT to.
A very wise man once said to me - lots of people like the IDEA of having a job or doing XYZ, very few people actually like doing the thing. I make a fool out of myself trying to learn electronics and I burn my hand on a soldering iron regularly trying to learn electronics because I ACTUALLY ENJOY WORKING ON ELECTRONICS. But fake faggots are scared of getting their hands dirty and having the stones to fail - and then the resilience to get back up and keep trying instead of this "uhh I can't afford it", "ujh it's IlAgeLl in MY STATE"
Just be a fucking man and do it, stop bitching about why you can't.
