Default Favorite part to work on?!?!

Jus wanted to see what everybody's favorite thing to work on with there cars.

I'll go first, I really like working on my cars exhaust, knowing the different sounds u can get by putting different parts on, as well as brands and seeing what the outcome is.

Hopefully u get the idea

Wasn't the easiest, but certainly the most rewarding has been my updated black interior. I'm sure once I finish blacking out the top half I'll be even happier!!

Me too!! I just want to get it ALL done, and just drive the thing. Seems like every time I'm in it, I'm thinking, when am I gonna get time to fix this, replace that, cover this, etc, etc.

That feeling where you get started and your maybe midway through and you think how much more work you need to put yourself through

I do all the work I can myself with a diehard love for cars. It's the turn of heads at the dragstrip, or just crusing down main street that keep me going. The comments I've heard from being the only car in my town with curtains ranges from a punk head guy yelling "Hell ya, get it on in the back seat, whoo hoooo" to an old man asking if it was a hearse, and everything inbetween. Ofcourse running stretch tires and poking wheels has also generated a few comments aswell since cars with any stance are rare around here. Then there are those that look a little futher and coment on the diamond licenceplate trim and other details.... Then again this car was getting comments back when it was bone stock since lexus is rare in sherbrooke. The closest dealer is 2 hours away.

Honestly all the hard work paying off and getting some respect and attention back is my favorite part of working on cars. It's a hobbie. A rather expensive and time consumming hobbie.
