Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?
I used to be a bit of a DIY mechanic and have fitted gearboxes, clutches and complete engines amongst other repairs but as mentioned above, engines these days are just to be looked at as not many repairs are possible unless you have the vast array of special tools. I was never a petrol head or anything, just that it was cheaper than going to a garage.Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

Well, the first thing a wise man looks at are the fluid levels, lest his beloved beast is running short of anything. Then he looks for anything out of the normal; things which are not as they should be. Then he inhales the intoxicating aroma of hot engine oil. Finally, he takes satisfaction that his loyal and dependable steed is ready for whatever may be asked of it .Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?
Another one here that used to repair my own cars many an hour spent changing brake pads/shoes doing bodywork repairs with the good old "doggie", am fortunate that my bil. Is a mechanic so any thing major I took to him, but I've done a fair bit on my cars, different nowadays though, as people have said you really need a code reader to interrogate the on board computer to make any sense of any warning lights that show up, also I think as you get older you get in a position where you can afford to pay someone else to repair/maintain your car and I certainly don't miss crawling about on the floor in the freezing cold..!!
