Its funny but this is why I believe car guys are so weird.
Playing with cars is an expensive hobby, so you cant engage in it as often as you like without a LOT of disposable income so when you meet another car guy and he mentions “Yeah I have to yank the engine out of my race car this weekend” if you dont have plans you actually really DO want to help even if you barely know the guy because you get to engage in your hobby on someone elses dime.
So you go around, spend a day swearing and getting filthy, busting your knuckles and putting sweat into their passion for nothing more than maybe lunch and a few drinks, so they really are appreciative.
All that Fast and Furious “Family” shit is overblown, but my son is named after my best friend and we became friends for life engine swapping and building a 89 Honda.
