Well, I don't 100% agree. You need to pick your peeps.

The shop I use (big norcal 86 sponser) is a Subaru speciality shop. Guys like them do speciality because they care, like some of the shop owners you talk with regularly here.

Yes true. There are those rare exceptions. They aren't the hired hands at the dealers and more importantly, they don't care because they're being compensated any more. They care all on their own.

I have yet to be happy with any work I've farmed out. Mrs. Ultra will back me up on that. Each time was after researching and agonizing over who would be best qualified to perform the work. Something always went wrong where I had to intervene and school the professional. I would much rather be impressed than be appreciated for my patience.

No joke.

Yes, I know, that's why you are you, and we still love you.

Btw, @Ultramaroon, when can I have one of your weekends and come up and have the head wookiee in charge help me do a slave swop? I don't trust anyone else with this upgrade. You know what I mean

I'm ready to take time off work and drive.

Oh, it's sooooo easy. Hell, I can bring the tools and we can do it right there at the lake.

But come up next weekend just to hang out! We have some cool drives too.

Yup. Come on up! Don't bother with a hotel or anything.

I'll even clean up the garage some.

Perfect. I'll take the afternoon in case you're super motivated in the morning.

We stay up late. Take your time and get here whenever you feel like it.
