I’m sure you’ll get plenty of gear head friends to discuss cars. I’m so happy we found each other! Puppy love: marriage

I changed my own serpentine belt once. And I change my own oil and headlights and fuses and stuff.

Yeah, was a Chiltons, Haynes, and Shop manual guy for a long time, but YouTube and the Net are king.

What's amusing to me is I'll do pretty much all the repairs on my vehicles except oil changes. The local Chrysler dealer does them for $23 and I can barely buy the oil and filter for under that. The only exception is my Tundra that takes nearly 7 quarts of full synthetic, even then sometimes it's worth the $48.

I recently replaced both the Coswell Cog & Spacely Sprocket on our family's Monkey Wagon.

Finally a whole sentence I understand in this thread

I am. Did my first transmission swap on an Olds 98 when I was 9 with my brother who was 11. Dad just told us what to do & we did it. Been working on them since that day.
I’m restoring a VW dune buggy in my garage right now. Got stacks of wheels and tires everywhere. Couple spare motors to rebuild & carburetors & other parts stashed everywhere.

I'm a gearhead and fair shade-tree mechanic, and I try to do as much maintenance as I can myself. Just a few weeks ago, I replaced a sticking brake caliper on the minivan.

I still do my own oil changes because even though the cost is almost a wash, it's faster for me to pull out the ramps and do it myself than it is to drive to a mechanic and wait.

Fully synthetic oil is always worth it
