any words of consolation or am I just a sucker?
you are not a sucker, just someone who might have leapt before looking. with that said, do as much of the work yourself as you can.

i am learning that it is actually kind of satisfying to be driving something that i have done the majority of work on, even with the sweat and blood i have lost.

who do you trust more? you or some stranger who has 10 other cars to work on before he can go home.

save some $ for the big stuff you can not do yourself and just have fun. in a few years you will not feel like you got fleeced or that you are a sucker, you will only remember the fun you have had...
