Default who does all the work on your car?

I'm assuming most of you do it yourself, but i'm just curious. My friend helps me out (who i'm supposed to tell you is a VW driver) but i always work with him so i can learn i can't do much, but i can definetly say i can do than most girls, which is a start.

I do most of the work on my car (with the very helpful assistance of a Honda factory service manual) myself. For what I can't/don't have time for, I take it to this local honca/accura shop... but theyre kinda clueless when it comes to aftermarket/swap type stuff... There are many local honda shops that have refused to work on my car because of the aftermarket coilovers/shocks and brake swap.

My car has been a learning experience..

an agravating one my main problem is the car is 11 years old, and lived most of its life in the midwest, so every time I do something that should be a simple, bolt-on affair, I end up breaking sockets and spending 4 hours trying to bust loose old rusted bolts. :angry:

I do all of my own work. Sometimes in the process of working on the car I day dream of it blowing up and it makes me feel good inside, but when it's all done I always feel good about it.

Pussy! :db: I should post a pic of my patio after I did my bushings, just to discourage any would-be DIYers.... :chuckles:
