oh yea, a big tree fell down in my driveway Friday, lol, I am going to leave it laying there as long as possible because it blocks the veiw of the shop from the street! :D

if i go to any of m buddies shops and they look busy ill ask if a. they want a hand or b. if theres a better time to come back to shoot the shhhht. me and my bro have had the gawkers when working on the mod but its got to teh point that we are the nice a$$holes say hi busy cant talk see ya

Hand them a sander and see if they are really as good as they say they are.

or tell them that you are busy and dont' have time to talk.

,but some of the funniest things I've ever seen happen around the shop after the work is done. Problem for me seems like I never really gets finished. Seems like I'm always in a hurry to get something done.

we live out in the country so we dont have many neighbors but the ones we do have dont have anything to do with us.i have hair to the middle of my back, 2 earrings and a long beard, that keeps a few away. park a chopped harley in front and the rest stay away.

I always had my buddy over to help me on my car(mostly hang out and dring beer), one day he brought over a friend, I did not think anything of it. I was going on my honeymoon the next week. When I got back ALL of my tools were gone, 3 carbs, 2 sets of headers, 2 intakes, a ton of ARP, a new in the box CV Belt drive. To this day niether one of us had heard from him.

I wish theives were shot instead of getting probabtion / jail time. Maybe if we could just cut their arms off I'd feel better! Sorry guys, it just makes me so mad when I think about someone stealing from someone. We pay our hard earned money for expensive parts and some scum bag steals and sell for pennys!!

This all happned to me when I was 20, total value of parts and tools was over 40k. I still have not recovered.

I keep my gate closed and don't tell anybody what I'm doing or going.

It's difficult to NOT let the neighbors know you have a race car....The trailer , starting it occasionally etc....but YOU shouldn't have to keep things secret. Scumbags should leave your things alone. What little I have accumulated I have worked hard for, often selling things I wished I could have kept just to be able to afford to have it.
