I always enjoy and appreciate the insightful answers and comments on this forum. I agree with Larry regarding the stereotypes that mechanics get. Sometimes they're not just from Hollywood but from personal experiences. It's a shame how one bad experience can lead to generalization, in this case, of mechanics.

This forum has helped me immensely, and I am extremely grateful to all who have helped me in answering my questions and concerns. Some places I go to don't even put in the effort to answer any questions that I may have; and I know sometimes I can have silly questions. I'm glad to be a part of this forum and to know that there are people out there who are just as crazy and--dare I say--obsessed with their cars as I am Danke!
