gone for me are the days of working on cars. i don't even change oil anymore. i keep toying with the idea of buying an old ford f100 or somesuch to use as my daily driver when i retire so i can work on it when i feel the urge. for me auto mechanics are a love/hate relationship. i used to love being able to go out there and change a water pump, u-joint, brakes, exhaust, whatever. round about mid-80's i began to hate that schit because cars were no longer made to work on for the average (or below) guy with an average (or below) tool box. i fought it until about 10 years ago and finally gave up when i was fugging up more schit than i fixed and had the money to pay someone else.
