I work for my vehicles and bikes just like everyone else does, the only difference is the title is in my dad's name.
What i mean is you get your $ to play cars from your family?
Then go to a shop and ask for whatever to be done and pick it up on X day?
See most all people i know get under the bonnet themselves.
Get dirty and learn from experience. Getting others to do your work and giving you a specs sheet at the end is not the same as knowledge IMHO.
I think they called it Wisdom in the old days. Now days i dunno perhaps even oldschool is the terminology for someone who actually does there work themselves.
Its a dying art. I see it all the time.
Walking text books with no physical knowledge.
I don't for one second say this is you. Although i don't say its not either.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
