So I must say, just cus you can work on your own car does not mean that you'll love it.
A little bit ago my transmission in my Taurus went to crap. Not fun. Instead of spending $2700 on a refurbished transmission to be installed I decided to see what I could do. Two days and 12 quarts of transmission fluid later I decided that it was beyond the ability of me and my garage to replace a transmission and I slapped it all back together. I don't know how these mechanics do it, it seems every single car has parts and pieces you need special tools for that only work for that make, model and year. I mean why make something so complicated!!!!!
RRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm just going to have to break down and buy a classic car. One they didn't try and pack in all this extra crap into just so when it breaks down (it will, they all do) I at least have a sporting chance of fixing it up myself.
Bah!
Here's some pictures of my adventure.
Here's me just getting started. Note the protective glasses and head wear. This was because of the 100% chance that something was going to drip directly on my face.
Here's where I layed under for 2 days, makes me miss when I used to spelunk.
And here is a picture of my brothers cat that always makes me think "Maybe he's born with it. Maybe its Maybeline"
p.s. This is why I missed out on your rocking B-Day Fae-Ro.
