I feel the same way but with one huge exception:
It is ONLY a hobby. I would Hate Hate Hate to fix cars for a living. That resembles real work. I like working in a nice comfortable office in front of a computer. Heck I have a heated and air conditioned garage at home so I am comfortable when working on the cars.
I would starve as a professional mechanic. I only work on MY cars and I am very slow. It takes me all dang day to do a valve adjustment on my 911 and I am sore the next day.
It is an enjoyable hobby but no way would I want to earn a living doing it. I admire any honest mechanic that makes a living doing repair work.
