Start fixing shit on your own car. Watch YouTube videos.

>car has problem
>google problem
>get tools from you dad
Congratulations. You're an automotive genius.

Cars aren't hard. Theyre just lots of little systems put together. Also note that most hicks have cars out rusting away in their yard because they didn't actually ever put them back together.

Go to a library or look online for "how cars work" type stuff if you just want raw, general knowledge.

>>15122853
start young. im 22 and i started young ask your dad. i didnt have a dad to i asked my moms boyfriends and they taught me shit. buy repair books. its alot easier if you stick to a certain brand of cars research shit online. its not as hard as you think. look at repair videos for your own car and start fixing shit. go buy some basic tools and have a weekend tinkering on your car. its so fucking fun. also girls love mechanic guys

What I did basically. My first car was a 87 Toyota Corolla FX. My Goal. Was to keep the damn thing running lol and I did. Until I had enough money to get another car. And the cycle continued. (One of the cars I had to give up was my Saab 9000, I miss that thing but parts were so damn expensive.)

1. Buy pic related
2. Read it cover to cover
3. Take the quizes in it
Now that you're familiar with how cars work, what each system does and how they work together, it's time to apply it.
4. Save money and aquire basic tools
5. Buy a cheap car that interest you
6. Fix the things that are broken or make the modifications you want
Congratulations you did it

A great number of hicks are completely fucking baffled at anything without a carb or the electrical system too far back from a fuel injector. There's a substantial amount working maintenance jobs for factories who have to fuck with PLCs when they break, though. Those guys tend to be able to handle just about anything. Anyway, just go grab some piece of shit off craigslist or from some rednecks back yard and start fucking with it. For simplicity see if you can't find yourself an old seventies or early eighties ford or something.
