Great Thread

My dad was a Test Pilot& later Technicial Manager-but never even changed his own oil !! (and had zero interest in cars and tools)

I learned on my own with VWs and now MBs. Sad thing now is my two kids (son and daughter 15 & 13)HATE to work on any of our cars. They have always whined when doing anything that involves dirt, sweat or grease and need to be pryed away from the computer and video games for any mech task.

My "hints" about the the costs THEY will pay when drive time comes-falls on deaf MP3 player plugged ears.

However both are A students, so I cannot complain too much
