It doesn't make or break me, but hundreds of dollars and loads of my time + people using my tools and having to locate them and get them back? I actually tend not to get beers or dinner or anything. THAT is the issue. I stopped letting people borrow my truck or offers to use my trailer when my truck got damaged (and they didnt even offer to fix it), another time someone used almost a full tank of fuel in my diesel truck ($120) and returned it with 1/4 tank. No compensation, no nothing... Hell I have a $250 specialty tool that someone borrowed and I am harassing to get it back from them after they borrowed it for free and used that tool to fix somebody's car and charged that person 6 months ago..
You act like I am being a ball breaker yet I am giving a free race seat and welding up a bracket for this project...for free. I turn away people who are wanting to pay me for these same things and I have multiple projects in my garage right now. In fact I have a friend's race car that hit a wall that came in this week that I have already lifted the motor back into the car, fixed engine mounts/trans mounts, replaced harmonic damper, control arms, brake lines, seat, power steering rack, tie rods, etc. I asked him to buy me a tool ($45) as compensation. Work that normally is a couple thousand... Meanwhile my race car is on jack stands sitting for me to get time on it, the corvette has to go to the body shop and get repaired, and I have maintenance on my truck to do.
It's ungrateful people that think $10 for hours of my time to teach them, use tools that I spent $800 on, and pay $80 to refill each time...yet I am greedy. Go fuck yourself.
