This is how I roll.

Sometimes I use my dad's garage, but he's not in my 'hood, and when I go I must bring my ~100 lbs. of misc. parts and tools.

I don’t think I’ve done a car repair in my garage for 5 years. Evan and I did his PCV nose in to his. I did declip my New Beetle in garage to replace air bag sensors.

Our winter is mild enough that I never go more than a week or two without getting to 35-40F, which is warm enough for me outside.

I even did the clutch on the P2 outside

In my teens, I used the street's curb as a lift, and do transmission/rear-end work....even during winter weather:-)
