I'm at a point in my life (30 years old) where I just don't care about screwing around anymore. I have friends that buy salvaged cars and import them and go through the hassle of paying cash for body work and then going through an inspection and repairing any mechanical defects. Dude, just pay the money and stop screwing around.

I still do all my own car maintenance because I have a shop but I am not installing 'performance' parts on a brand new sports car that I use as a daily driver.
