I am a tax accountant, all i can handle is a screw driver. I wish i was diy'er i would save a lot of $. But the car is an older gal and as we all know ( except you, you have a lot more years yet ) parts wear out with age. However, what i am really interested in is to find out if starting the car is a some what half ass substitute for driving the car 2-3 times a week?
