For 35 years, I’ve followed almost every passion a human soul can pursue. I’ve helped small artists produce music. I’ve learned the play the bass guitar, and attempted all sorts of other instruments. I’ve painted. I’ve hiked America. Each part of my home, I’ve attempted in some way to understand and work on myself. My brain yearns for constant growth, even beyond my very successful career in software.
I have an incredible kid now. Little did I know, that would become more of a passion than anything else I’ve experienced. So now, I present my final pursuit. The one I enjoyed most throughout life: cars. Specifically, poor people cars.
I’m not sure what has drawn me to enjoy “poor people cars.” My brother is a master of fixing the most desirable classic Dodge and Mopar cars one could have. Perhaps it was the stress I experienced growing up with poor people cars, and the inability to fix them myself. I went into debt and worried about those cars constantly. When I started learning on Youtube, I believe it may have been to dominate what I once feared for so many years.
I’m by no means a car expert, but I’ve become decent with a wrench. Not only that, but I love how much this hobby helps friends and family. Many of them are in the same predicament I was, struggling to keep a vehicle on the road with so many bad mechanics out there now. Even the good mechanics face their own challenges now, with inflation exploding.
I hope this blog helps others working on poor people cars, and inspires you to not fear them. I, for one, love and embrace them.
Cheers,
The Scott Diesel
