Useless (but vitally important!!) expenditure on your Saab

Yep kinda torn. If I did do the detail stuff all day I might not want to work on my own car. The rate is better as you become more "senior engineer".

Yep, same trouble many full time mechanics end up with. They became a mechanic because they enjoyed working on cars... They work on other peoples car all day, when they go home working on their own car is no longer fun. I for one am glad that I don't have to fix cars all day long, because if I did I would never get anything done on my own cars.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Took me almost a year to get back to the point that I want to work on my cars again, and now things are happening!
