I help friends when I can, they help me when I need. We use the cars together to cruise and hang out, bench racing stuff ya know. One friend kept his car in my garage last winter and we went through it together and he put 15k into it. Worked side by side mostly, as I live here though my time exceeded his naturally. He repaid the favor by buying me loads of tools at an annual tool show we all attend. Beer food lunch using his shop anything we can do for each other we do, no cash between this deal. Friends helping friends, someone who can not repay the labor favor would get no work done.
