Nah. Being a professional mechanic for that many years has a lot of drawbacks. I just point them to friends that are still in the business now. Lol

no they have no guilt, one day they come to you and pretend to be your very best friend and love you and be heaven sent, they dump all their drama and bull on you and when you try to ask them for advice or ask them for help they are not there....and when they are finished using you or are bored of you they leave your life and it is like they were never there.

just have to be weary of who you trust and who you keep in your life, quality friends over quantity...

i just found this on facebook

I get the same treatment except its "my computer, my phone, my software, my email....." adn this is from friends, family, friends of friends, friends of family. They dont feel guilty either until i tell them I normally get $125/hr for this stuff.

See I don't mind trying to help people when they have questions. I hate when people go out and abuse the hell out of there cars and excpet you to fix it for them. Then they just sit there and and stair at you and don't help. It's bad enough I don't want to work on my own Race car at times. But now I have to fix someone else p.o.s. No thanks

I had a friend like that. I was good friends with him in high school, we went to the same college and whatnot. I had some school problems and he decided he didn't need me and just stopped talking to me even though we lived in the same house. Then I started racing and whatnot and all of a sudden he decided I was a use to his image or whatever. I can't stand people like that.

I let go my best friend of eight years because she just became so selfish and everything was always about her no matter the situation. I miss her sometimes but better off.

My best friend is a tugboat captain and he isn't into building cars. We play golf and go watch bands. I don't fix his cars and he doesn't captain my tugboat.

Yeah one of my long time friends married an evil tramp that hates my guts. She doesn't allow him to hang out with me. Good riddens if you're gonna take that crap.

My wife knows that she won't come between the few friends I have left. And she has never attempted to. Takes a certain type of jerk that can stand hanging out with me anyways. Lol

You should have seen the looks I used to get driving our old Bronco which was sitting on 38's while I was pregnant. Drove that up until the day before I gave birth. It was quite the show watching me heave my big belly in that thing
