📌 Welcome to Garage Therapy
Sometimes the best mod is just clearing your head.
This group is built for those moments in between the wrenching and racing — when you just need to talk it out, vent a little, or remind yourself why you fell in love with this culture in the first place.
Whether you’re deep in a 2 a.m. garage spiral, fighting off burnout, or riding high off a perfect weekend cruise — this space is for you.

What This Group Is For:
I had been chasing down an issue with the car for nearly a year. It would come and go, leaving me puzzled.
As some may know, at Boxerfest, the car fell on its face. But just when we thought we figured it out, it fell on its face again. This happened 3 more times. I spent a decent amount of money and lots of my own and friend's brain cells trying to diagnose it. I finally had had enough and called the one and only Andrew Yates. Who, by the way, built my block many years ago. Within seconds, he told me what he believed it was: the 4 bar map sensor. I swapped it out and let the car idle. Idled great. But she's done this before so I didn't get my hopes up. Weeks went by until I could actually test drive it. All is well! Finally!

As the weather gets colder we all know the motivation begins to lack when it comes to getting your ass in the garage and getting to work. What helps motivate you to get out there and start wrenchin?
First of all, a heater in the garage helps a TON. Just saying! Personally I don't love extremely hot or cold weather. So spring is usually chaos trying to get things I ordered at Christmas installed and wrap up any winter projects to get ready for the first car meet of the year and fall is when I get to actually enjoy being in the garage working on and installing all the parts I've collected over the summer. Being on a budget usually, it can sometimes make progress feel painfully slow. But spending the summer collecting parts and making plans and then being able to make some big moves when the weather gets tolerable is a really good feeling.
I've got vinyl in hand that needs to go on my roof, some tint that needs installed, fog lights ready to go on, some stereo upgrades to make, and a set of wheels to refinish this fall/winter and I'm more than a little anxious to get in the garage and do it!

I’m So glad you got this figured out! It really was causing some massive issues at boxerfest and I was glad you were able to at least get the car home from there
