My Dad was a mechanic all his life and my brother went into that career too. I was the black sheep and didn't go that route (actually they suggested that I shoot higher). So I was around family who always worked on their own cars and it was natural for me do so when possible. God bless them, I learned so much at a young age. It has definitely saved me thousands over the years. I started modding with a Ford Maverick. Bought a donor car and swapped the straight 6 for a V8. Learned a lot from turning wrenches on that car. Then as a family man I just drove stock cars for years. When I bought a Honda Accord 17 years ago I started tinkering with it (of all things right?). Put a header on it and other stuff and have done all repairs except the clutch. Still driving it, in fact. When I got the Mustang it was a foregone conclusion that I would be wrenching on it. That's actually the fun part, when it's modding and not repairing! I'll try anything with the right tools. If only I had a lift, the sky would be the limit.
