A slept on skill for auto enthusiasts is honestly planning . This could be planning your day & time for friends to all meet and help. Planning by having the tools required for the job out and in direct reach. Also, planning your build! Too often you’ll see things that just don’t match the overall look the owner was trying to achieve. This goes back to having the proper color palette for complimentary looks, aero follows a similar look (aggressive or modest) & definitely building the car for what it’s actually going to be used for! Can’t believe how many times I hear “it’s a track car” and then see extremely stretched all seasons and an alignment that screams pep boys .

I can't tell you how many times I've looked up struts for people's cars only for them to get pissed off and tell me they weren't looking for suspension... Repeat after me- Lift Support That's what they're called in the computer it will make it faster and easier and a lot less painful for everybody if you just call them that.
