  • I Need a Break to Recharge! Can't Think of a Better Way Than This! Part 1

    It's been tough keeping up with everything in life lately. Also this winter has not been making things easier. However I live by a simple principle. No matter how bad things get, they could always be worse. Glass is always half full not half empty folks.

    I decided after a long day to take a job that I actually enjoy doing and enjoy it a lot as a sort of therapy for stress and a means to take a break from modern cars! Hope you like this video as much as I like working on this car.
