air_n_darkness | 100 random things about me (Reply)

52) One of my Dad's hobbies is working on cars. I'm not talking "get the heap out on Sat's and work on it". I'm talking about a man who regularly buys wrecks, rebuilds them, and sells them for a nice profit. So I and my sister know our way around a vehicle, and how to keep one running till it "just can't run no more". Though I'm less adept at working on my Saturn then I was at deciphering the problems of my old, trusty Chevy Cavalier. Damn Toyota engines, pain in the ass to work around. Just kidding, I like Toyotas.

First off I fully admit that I have had assistance in these endeavors, esp as most of them are 2 person jobs. Thanks in particular to

wolfboi, Christoff, my hubby, Christopher Robin, and my dear old Dad for assists at different times.

I have made the following repairs to my car(s) sans shop: Changed various hoses, changed out the alternator, changed out various belts, replaced a tensioner pully (which I have no desire to repeat), changed brakes,...and there was some wiring stuff in there too, but that was mostly my dad w/ my help.

Perhaps the one thing I'm bad about is checking my tires regularly.

And I hate to change my oil; I get someone else (ahem, the hubby) to do that.
