[QUOTE="Lemmiwinks, post: 15493073, member: 135323"] 25 here. Bought my '88 Thunderbird at age 14. Me and my father restored it from top to bottom. Now has a mild built 306" in it (my fathers old engine) with a Procharger D1 slapped on it. Backed up by a Freddy Brown built AOD and 8.8" rear end. Bought my '98 Viper on my 25th birthday and at this moment I've tore the front and back off the car for some restoration work. I actually enjoy watching videos on youtube when people work on their cars when I'm low on motivation. I'm no engineer. I've never programmed in my life before age 20. I taught myself how to program and now I'm an automation engineer. Taught myself how to program structure text (PLC), VBA, C#, XML, Java, Zenon etc. I know not a single thing about heating systems. I'm in the progress of tuning my heating system in my house and improving it. I can't tune a car. Yet I'm tuning my Thunderbird myself. It's not good, but someday the tune will be good. I am not electrical power engineer. Yet, I have understanding on how it works and I work with it on daily basis. No, I'm no expert. Pretty far from that. But I can make it work, and I can make it work pretty damn good! Same with high voltage, I have no theoretic understanding of HVAC. Yet I work with it every day (control systems for HVAC) and HVAC power generation. A few years ago I was kicking my own ass because I never cared about school. I never got a useable degree though it looks cool on paper (airplane & helicopter technician). Now, I don't care. I can teach it myself. I don't need no fancy school to teach me these stuff. If other people can learn, so can I. But in all honesty, I fear a little bit about the oil change in my Viper. I just bought a house and there seriously is not much money left to spare and oil prices in Sweden aren't the same in Sweden as the US. Your $100 oil change is $300 here in just oil, no work included. But that's the beauty of cars! If I can't afford to drive my Viper this summer, I just wont. I can just not drive it. Will not cost me any extra money nor work. It's not a living creature, I can just park it how long I ever want until I can afford to drive it again! But honestly, I will not park it though. [/QUOTE]
