Thankfully for me, I learned a ton of auto maintenance that now spills to my other vehicles where I can do repairs without having to pay the auto mechanic.
My current job I got because of what I learned in the process of building my truck. So it was a win for me, but certainly not the "Easy road"

you did shoot your feet up a bit on that one, changing things around a few times. but it all worked out nicely enough! and you built it yourself, chances are you wouldnt appreciate it as much if you just bought it done.
