  My gearhead frens treat working on cars after or before work like some guys here treat tweaking out on Linux and computer shit. It's basically in the same realm of male hobby behavior.

  Frankly I never found mechanics exciting, I always enjoyed woodworking, cooking, music, writing and art to be my thing. I even tried to learn a metal lathe and I couldn't get the hang of it, but I'm a natural and badass with a wood lathe.

  It depends, if you can grow a full beard then let it. If you're patchy and scottish looking, then trim a nice goatee or mustache. I'm a goatee man because I have scottish/indian genetics that make me incapaple of growing a full beard.

  I keep telling myself with my next car (I'm going to get a beater 90's or early 2000's toyota). That I'm going to get more serious and diciplined about car maintainence and light owner repairs.
  
  The reason I want that range of cars is all my gearhead and mechanic frens tell me they are easy to repair. I believe it, because I helped a friend replace his spark plugs on a 90's Toyota truck and a moron like me figured it out and could reach everything. Replacing the sparkplugs on my Ford Windstar was a lovecraftian nightmare. That engine box is stuffed like a can of sardines and you literally have to disassemble a ton of shit just to even reach that stuff and 2 of the spark plugs are UNDER the engine. It's all so tiresome....

  Mechanics has more learning curve before you get to a plateau where you can begin to express yourself creatively.
  
  Woodworking, cooking, music, writing & art you can pretty much be expressing yourself immediately.
  
  With mechanics, you need to accept your limitations, cut through grime and broken bolts to replace factory parts with factory parts. Only once you have done your time, then you begin to grasp exactly what the engineers who designed the car were thinking. THEN you can start to make it your own. That's what hot-rodding is.

  1. Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner - Dirty Dancing (11/12) Movie CLIP (1987) HD
    
    Dirty Dancing movie clips: http://j.mp/1L7ekhD BUY THE MOVIE: http://j.mp/yl1ePl Don't miss the HOTTEST NEW TRAILERS: http://bit.ly/1u2y6pr CLIP DESCRIPTION: Johnny (Patrick Swayze) comes to proclaim his love for Baby (Jennifer Grey) to everyone at the dance hall. FILM DESCRIPTION: A teenage girl learns about love, adult responsibility, and how to do The Dirty Boogie in this romantic drama. In 1963, "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is a 17-year-old spending the summer with her family at a resort hotel in the Catskills; she plans on being in the Peace Corps next summer, so this is expected to be her last summer as a carefree adolescent. Baby doesn't get along with her older sister, Lisa (Jane Brucker), and she's bored to tears by most of the older guests at the resort. However, one night Baby hears what sounds like a party going on in the employee's dormitory, and she pokes her head in to discover most of the hotel staff enjoying the sort of close dancing that would get you kicked out of the senior prom in no time flat. Baby is particularly struck by handsome Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), a dancer in the resort's floor show, and falls head over heels in love, wanting to be near him. When Johnny's dance partner, Penny (Cynthia Rhodes), finds herself pregnant after a fling with one of the waiters, Baby volunteers to learn her steps and take her place; however, Baby's father, Dr. Jake Houseman (Jerry Orbach), will have none of it, convinced that Johnny is a low life and that his daughter is too young to understand her own feelings. Dirty Dancing was a surprise box-office hit, and the soundtrack album was an even bigger success, spawning several hit singles and inspiring a top-drawing concert tour featuring several of its artists.

  1. Road House (1/11) Movie CLIP - Three Simple Rules (1989) HD
    
    Road House movie clips: http://j.mp/111Lau8 BUY THE MOVIE: http://j.mp/111L8T7 Don't miss the HOTTEST NEW TRAILERS: http://bit.ly/1u2y6pr CLIP DESCRIPTION: Dalton (Patrick Swayze) states the rules of the bar and tells his crew to "be nice" to customers, even when they're rude. FILM DESCRIPTION: Love, treachery, and broken furniture are the hallmarks of this rollicking action drama. Dalton (Patrick Swayze) has a Ph.D., but rather than make a living teaching Socrates at some university, he's opted to become a top-drawer "cooler" -- an expert barroom bouncer who can break up fights without getting himself killed in the process. Dalton is hired to keep the peace at the Double Duce, a rough-and-tumble honky tonk in Jasper, Missouri, where beer-soaked free-for-alls are a nightly event. Dalton is hurt on his first night on the job, and he is patched up by "Doc" Clay (Kelly Lynch), a beautiful woman working as the town's physician. Dalton and Doc immediately hit it off, but Dalton learns that another man, Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), already has his eye on her. Wesley is a man used to getting his way; he's an extortionist and crime boss who has nearly everyone in Jasper under his thumb, and he sets out to teach Dalton a lesson, while Dalton is determined to clean up the town like he breaks up brawls at the Double Duce. Sam Elliott plays Dalton's mentor Wade, and Red West, a one-time member of Elvis Presley's "Memphis Mafia," appears as Webster; Canadian blues-rock guitarist Jeff Healey leads the Double Duce house band. CREDITS: TM & © MGM (1989) Cast: Patrick Swayze Director: Rowdy Herrington Producers: Tim Moore, Steve Perry, Joel Silver Screenwriters: David Lee Henry, Hilary Henkin WHO ARE WE?

  The problem with the electronics is not exactly what you'd think. In a new car everything is locked down, but after about 10 years modders have cracked all of the systems and bypassed everything, so you want to go at least 10 years old.
  
  Now on the point of sparkplugs in a Ford vs. a Toyota - Just don't buy a Ford. Ever.
  
  Ford has a long and rich history of fucking over anyone who tries to repair their cars.
  
  * With their diesel trucks you can't do practically anything on the engine without pulling the body off.
  * With their diesel engine, you can't replace A LIFTER without pulling the crankshaft. Yes, a lifter. It's because you can't replace them without pulling the cam, and the cam has a gear that is pressed on and can't be removed, and that gear can't make it past part of the crank, so you must remove the crank.
  * They had a 4.3 L v6 where the timing chain was on the BACK SIDE of the engine, so you have to do some incredible acrobatics in order to replace it.
  * Their 2000-2010ish 3 valve triton v8 had only a couple threads holding in the sparkplug in, so they would just randomly eject themselves out of the engine.
  
  There are actually a lot of Ford mechanics out there, because Fords fail often, and they can charge highway robbery prices for repairing them because repairing a Ford is like a three week vacation in hell.
