Open fuel filler door......insert nozzle, stand and wait for nozzle to stop, return nozzle to tank, close fuel filler door. Open driver side door, slide in and have fun burning the fuel I just put in.

I built a basket case 1960 HD Panhead including rebuilt motor and transmission.

On the cayenne s, custom fabbed an exhaust, lots of appearance mods.

On the 997 lots of little thing like pedals, cf interior, K & N Intake, dension install, new steering wheel, gundo hack, LED wiring, pedals, removal and replacement of OE wing.

On my project 91 Grand Wagoneer I spent this past sunday replacing the exhaust manifolds which sucked due to the fact that it was 30 degrees outside with snow showers and the truck does not fit in the garage. I also custom built a full magnaflow exhaust system for it since the one that I bought the truck with had more holes than swiss cheese. Replaced the alternator yesterday. Will replace the starter tonight after work. Just recently tore out the carpet and replaced it all along with new tailgate glass and motors. Had it painted by someone after spending a good 150 hours on the body removing rust cancer by cutting out panels and welding new ones in place.

On my previous 07 Jeep Wrangler unlimited I swapped the front axle, put a 5" lift on it along with new steel bumpers and rockers, hella auxiliary lighting, Banks intake and exhaust systems and lots of other easy to do mods.

I love to work on stuff and would prefer to do it myself unless I just can't or it doesn't make sense. I get my oil changed on the Wagoneer as it costs me $25 and it's not worth the hassle. Will do them on the pcar though.
There is nothing better than the sense of satisfaction of doing something yourself, specially if you did not think you could.
