That was just an a**hole statement that guy made. I was just double checking on a few things. I am a little OCD when it comes to my car, that's all. I plan on doing any jobs that come up that are DIY. Gonna bleed the brkes next.

I am really enjoying learning and working on my car. I feel very proactive doing so and it's a new hobby for me. Not gonna do anything that I am not comfortable with, I'll leave the bigger jobs for VAC in Philly. But I think the majority of the things that will come up I can do myself.
