Worship seitan. Devils advocate #2.
I consider myself the world's worst mechanic but c'mon, are pads, rotors, oil, and brake fluid really taking you guys longer than a 4 pack of beer?

Probably, I get slower with each one. My fan belt took me almost a week.

I've got a two year old. I also just bought a farm with 3 acres and lots of projects. These days I'm the Vin Diesel of auto mechanics. I turn my wrench ten minutes at a time.

It sold to 2nd buyer that inquired, the first was a dealer. Received deposit, allowed buyer to have a PPI done. Great buyer, very quick and easy transaction.

Asking price seemed to be spot on..

Count me wrong on this one.
I though the car would never sell at that price.
Congrats on the sale.

Not the first $30k Carrera this week you were wrong on. Not even the second...
