re: How many of you baws actually work on your own cars?

In. My dad was a mechanic, so grew up working on all my stuff. My dad required me to be able to fix almost everything on my car before he would let me get my license at 16.

So I could change points, plugs, wires, oil, brakes, wheel bearings, pretty much the works. He wouldn’t let me buy a slave cylinder for my rear brakes, I had to buy a kit, hone it out, and rebuild it myself. Stuff like that. I’ve rebuilt alternators, carburetors, master cylinders, etc. I put a 4 barrel aluminum intake, carb, and headers on my car when I was 17.

It’s a damn shame that you can’t really work on cars these days.
