Both my parents went to automotive school prior to having me, so I grew up in a tinkering/fixit household. All my friends and my sweetheart are amazed at the things I've fixed or rebuilt from scratch.
I've been asked if there wasn't anything I couldn't fix, and with a sly smile my response was "WOMEN".
Even where I work my boss knows if something needs fixing and/or figuring out, he calls me.
And yes, it is a LOST ART!
