Bought my first car at 16, an 8 year 1966 Mustang. Learned basic
maintenance and mechanics by books and DIY initiative. Drove it for about year and moved up to a '69 T-bird, now that was a car, 375 hp stock. Thats where I learned alot about more complicated systems, like engines, ignitions, suspensions, voltages, and especially interior stuff (power windows,l ocks, guages, under dash kinda things). 50+ some cars, trucks, and boats later , I rarely let a paid indie touch my mechanical stuff.
