You should always ask you mechanically minded friends to work on your car for free even though you can easily afford going to the dealer. We enjoy hearing from people we haven’t heard from in six months ask if we can change their clutch.

No one except Trump can "easily afford to go to their dealer." Wake up.

Hah. Yeah, been there before. I don't mind the work, as long as it's not excessive. My rules, you pay for parts and any labor that is not my own (machine work, etc...), I'll do the labor for pizza and beer (my choosing). I may pay for special tools if I think they are 1) cool, or 2) necessary, and I may use them sometime over the next 40 years, otherwise, if we rent tools, you pay. I'm cheap, I'm easy, but you get what you pay for. I'll probably leave a grease stain on your seat somewhere...

Ah, yes, I own a desktop computer, and work in a (proprietary) software support position, which means I get asked to work on the computers for everyone at church. Even the ones that otherwise ignore me.

I fix things for my friends. And they all pay for the parts and a little something for my time at least. Even the females, and the classy ones wouldn't think of not paying. [Hey, if they're broke, I'll still help.] I sure wasn't born with all this technical knowledge, I earned it at the school of hard knocks.

But I'm not totally heartless, the gals I bed get a nice evening out and dinner. Some of them have gained weight hanging around me too much. I have the cure for that, too...
