Default After losing probably 5lbs from sweating just now changing the oil and rotating tires on my Civic...

I discovered the real reason why I'm losing interest in modifying and working on cars. I don't have a big garage with a lift and a large assortment of tools, including air tools. It just sucks without a shop.

Default BIG second on that. My garage is barely big enough to do work in as it is

Though now with my job at a dealership, I have access to all the above mentioned.

Still sucks though, because I don't have keyed access to service so I can't work on weekends. After my shift ends at 5pm, I have until 9pm to do whatever, unless another tech is staying late.

Default when I worked for a shop many years ago, I was allowed weekend/after hours access

That was great. Hell, I'd be happy changing tires in a parking lot if I just had an impact gun.

I don't work in the shop per say, but parts. I don't think any of the techs work on weekends either.
