| cerealkiller | posted 25-Aug-2009 9:27pm Yes and no. 99% of stuff you can't really fix yourself anymore. And you need special tools. My Lincoln has a tail light bulb out and I can't figure out how the hell you get to it. One connector in the trunk feeds 3 lightbulbs in the assembly. Guess you have to pull out the entire tail light assembly. Ridiculous.
I found out on the VW Beetle I had you cannot change a headlight yourself. Only a vehicle dealer or repair place has tools to do it. Frickin' cost me $75 for a damn headlight, most of which was labor. Not worth the mess and hassle changing oil anymore either, and trying to dispose of it. I just go to the quick lube place. Cars these days don't really need tune-ups either much. I don't even wash them myself. Too much work. I just drive through the carwash. Guess the only thing I do myself is clean the interiors. |

| FordGuy | posted 26-Aug-2009 10:31am I do all the work myself. From electrical, to mechanical, to body work. I can do it all man. |
| Genesereth | posted 27-Aug-2009 3:27pm I once disassembled my Triumph sports car. Completely. Every nut and bolt. And then put it back together. And it worked again! And there were very few leftover parts. |

| Dino | posted 6-Sep-2009 12:37pm I don't drive. If I did, I don't think I'd fix them myself. |

| Kristal_Rose | (reply to labjog) posted 7-Sep-2009 8:08am There have been a couple cars which required pulling the engine to get at one of the sparkplugs. |
| docgbrown | posted 14-Sep-2009 5:12am Minor fixes I do myself. Major fixes go to my brothers who are mechanics |
