As we used to say back in the days when I was in high school,
When wrenching:
1) If you got beat by a Chevy, you ain't squat
2) If you got beat by a Ford, you're a wuss
3) If you got beat by a Mopar, you're still a hellauva guy!
4) If you beat said Mopar into submission and made it do what you intended to do in the first place, you're a God!
"Speed costs money son, how fast do you wanna go?"
Blood, Sweat and Gears!
Me thinks you're probably somewhere in between 3 and 4.
