My knowledge came from a few different sources. I took auto repair in high school, I worked close to fifteen years in a salvage yard taking them apart. Lots of trial and error, and repair manuals.

necessity is a good point Duane made. I have almost always had older vehicles that always need repair When a part costs 30 bucks I just can't see paying someone 200 to put it on.
Youtube even taught me a little guitar.

You can make some of the member's happy some of the time, but not all the member's happy all of the time
Yes, I did think of multiple choices, but then we
would just have a lot of different #'s in the poll & not many posts by member's. ?
Without multiple choices, it encourages member's
to make a post & enter their experiences working on the vehicles
that they own or owned, or working on family & friends cars/trucks/etc.

Taught myself, cars were and r my biggest hobbie, no one in my entire family gave a damn about cars but since 12 i could name every car, its engine, its year, and i spent sum summers breaking and fixing my own cars to better incline my mechanical skills, this ill pass to my kids for sure

My Dad had 1 1963 Buick special with an engine compartment the size of a walk in closet. He would set me (age 5 or so) on the fender with my legs dangling into the engine compartment. Hand me a handfull of tools and ask me to hand him the one he needed. After much teaching I learned to anticipate the one he needed.
Love those memories
