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

Present. I find it cathartic at times.

I go so far as to even masturbate with motor oil

I do my own earl, wiper blades, blinker fluid, lift kit, and nuts

YouTube has everything you need to fix any problem with your vehicle as long as you have the proper tools.

If my arse can replace a u-joint, anyone can

other then the basic oil changes, filter, maybe an O2 sensor, or the belts, there is not much you can do any more

its ok if you choose not to, but if you "cant" change your own damn oil you aint a man

I do pretty much all of it. Oil, brakes, fluids, etc, but I've also replaced starters, exhaust manifolds, idler pulleys, o2 sensors, and installed some basic stereo upgrades.

I enjoy it, but I also know who's at fault if something doesn't work right.

Not as much as when I had my Jeep but I do whatever I can. Most of my tool are in storage in Colorado. It pains me to take my car in to have work done.

Changed front wheel bearings the other day

I've got a 92 LS400 with half a million miles on the original engine/trans. All the gizmos still work and it still rides smooth as silk. No rattles or vibrations, motor still pulls hard.

I cant bring myself to get rid of it. It isnt worth enough to part with it. It also isnt worth enough to take to a shop so I do everything myself. I guess when something finally goes that I can't handle it will be done for. For now its nice to have a car I can put high miles on rather than my newer rides.
