Anyone else enjoy working on their cars? I have a classic that I try to do as much as possible with the help of enthusiast forums, YouTube, and a local club

I have 3 engine builds/installs underway in the garage right now. All of them need to be done in 8 weeks. Only thing I don't do at home is paint. Not enough time to do it right while traveling all week for work.

Yep! The only work and mods I don't do myself are alignments (can get close with 2x4, string, tape measure) and recalls. Weekend and race car are on full standalone that I've tuned myself. Wrench, cut, weld, tune, etc. I don't know why I'm in a business job 😅

like

I want to learn how to weld. I’m limited in what I can do because I don’t have a dedicated garage but when I do... eventually want a lift

like

Have a basement? I don't have a garage either. If it's not windy, I weld outside. Easier to see with sunlight anyway

I liked the camaraderie that comes with the groups and wrenching, but I don’t love the work itself:)

I’m just not that mechanical to know how it all goes together. I can do simple things, and even more complex things with supervision, but overall, I just like hanging out with good people who enjoy cars more than the wrenching.

About to buyout my lease from Audi. Dealership says it is mandatory to get a safety inspection (from a liability perspective) before I can buy the car. Is this the norm? I dont want to pay extra at this point when I am buying the car for myself

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
