Skinned knuckles suck and I break out in a sweat the moment I have to start wrestling with stuck bolts and socket sets and those stupid c-clips and the rest of it. gently caress that noise. It's all about set and setting for me - give me a well-lit, climate-controlled location to complete a task on a non-DD vehicle and I'm more than happy to dig in. Swapping EJ25's on a car I need to drive to work every day, or even a trivial job gone wrong that leaks into 3AM on a Monday morning, is enough to dissuade me from doing my own work these days. Unless a job is almost entirely labor (like a belt replacement, or an oil change on a straightforward layout) I'm willing to pay the extra cost just to have someone else do it. I'm sure once I have a private garage and a project car it will become rewarding again, but for now I'd rather drop my car off at a mechanic than give up a Saturday afternoon.

Looks like the spacer gives just the right amount of clearance, and I would never get tired of pulling my FERRARI tools out. Echoing others, I love the updates - keep them coming

One of the creepy background questions was about the 348: After helping integrate Experian data with a health insurance verification system, one of the biggest user complaints we had was "this is creepy" - we actually had a feedback widget (yeah, one of those annoying floaty things, added by kicking and screaming) with an option "Why do you have this information?" Basically any verification system that ties into the three big creditors databases will have a frightening amount of information about you. I think 99% of people don't get asked what color their Ferrari is though, so you're totally winning that system. If I would have come across test data with a 348 I totally would have thought it was some bored QA tester's sick joke, so that's worth buying an Italian steed any day.
