This could be work or recreational related. Anything you’ve done that you sit back and go “hell yeah I did that”. I’m typically wary of working on cars because I have big hands and no auto specialty tools. But, I was able to make a pretty involved (for me) repair last week and I’ve felt really great about it since. What about you?
Keep on looking at eBay! If you don’t have to have an exact model, sometimes you can score deals. I outfitted my 486SX with cards from Romania for cheap!
