100 Reasons to work on your vehicle, BITOG Style

[GumbyJarvis]

Excuse me if this is in the wrong forum/category

After tons of fun, not really do anything to my truck today, anyone ever have an excuse to work on their vehicle?
See if we can come up with 100 of them, Ill start off with a few

1. You have come accustomed to the smell of Gojo/Awesome Orange/Lava and want to use it.
2. You have a Blackstone Kit and it keeps eagerly calling your name, regardless of OCI
3. You need to put your profane dictionary to good usage, cursing the auto-manufacturer of your vehicle, coming up with new words in the process.
4. I need a shower today anyway... Lets see what we can do prior (Also includes mowing the lawn too)
5. Wife/Girlfriend is gone, Game on if I can fix it before she gets back!

anymore?

6. I'm excessively cheap to pay somebody else to work on my car.
7. Besides, whenever I check the quality of work coming from the repair shop, I think I could have done it better myself.

8) I'm going to sort the oil bottles in my stash by weight then by color

9) Girlfriend who is "Blonde" is wandering why I have all these different bottles of lube & wont use them on her!!!"

10) (and probably the biggest reason for most) Bad experiences from other people working on your car!

11) It's a lazy "insert day here"
12) A parts store run is a valid reason to fire up the beater
13) It needs to be done before the "insert occasion here"
14) I need to get to work

I do the bare minimum, changing oil, and thats only because I had my fill with Walmart oil changes. So, other than DIY OC's, I do nothing else. One secret to life is NOT owning tools! LOL!
