Folks often ask me how I manage to keep my old cars looking & running so great. I'd love to say it's because I do all the maintenance, and of course that helps. But the real answer is because I keep them in a garage. It really is that simple. It blows my fucking mind that America is so car-centric on every other aspect except having housing with enough garage space.
It's not even keeping it in the garage for me, it's that I need a garage to do anything. Working on the street is so annoying.
Right now, to do a polish&protect I gotta ask other people with private property (I live in an apartment) and they always bug me with "oh it's my holiday, so YOU can't work" or they keep nagging to me about how what I'm doing is pointless, or that I spent too much money on this (I did...but don't tell me what to do!!...)
1 It's not work, it's a hobby, and 2. Next time you try to have me be a delivery boy for you during a holiday I'm saying no, unless I forgot to check your holidays.
Like god damn just let me do my nice hobby in peace. I already helped you with countless things even during my work hours, let me have a nice time and stop imposing your religion, financials, and whatever other crap on me.
I feel like I'm the only guy around here that just helps however he's asked to without imposing my views on others as I'm helping them.
