My brother's been a mechanic now for around twenty years. First at a gas station, ten years for Nissan, a few for Mercedes and Toyota, back to Nissan, now at Lexus in Dallas, TX.

He has always had a great gift for knowing how things work and working with his hands. A true artist. He makes a decent living, but has had new troubles because of the physical work he does. Now, at 41, his back is giving him trouble and he ignores it. We all wish he's get it taken care of.

Other than that, I think he loves what he does. He has had to change what he does with the onset of the computerization of engines and all. But he's very intlelligent and enjoys it.
