But I am the only one in my family who likes working on cars, and my friends who I would normally work on my car with are not in my COVID bubble.
So for me, it is a matter of prioritizing my limited free time. And, my firm is currently exceptionally busy and actively expanding. So in addition to my work, I am also taking on additional load from some of our employees while also managing all of our recruitment efforts and interviewing candidates. So my time is even more limited now than it was before.
I have a good relationship with a local shop whose work I trust, so I am confident that my car is being well taken care of.

I understand that totally. The one thing I didn't factor in with building my dream shop was the impact of spending time with my wife. She's mentioned on many occasions she's a Garage Widow.
Well, except when I have her 23-year old E87 over there for maintenance; I can spend all frickin day on the Z3
