Practically a mechanic

[lvpets2002]

Well I grew up on a farm & a ranch && that was how my dad was.. Heck I could change tires at a young age.. Also I helped plow of driving tractors so you learned the oil & grease & basic taking care of stuff..

Gosh, in our family, before Dad would drive you to take your license exam with the Registry of Motor Vehicles, you had to prove to him you knew how to pop the hood, check the oil, transmission fluid, radiator and windshield washer fluid, knew what random engine parts were, and change a tire.

He never wanted any child of his to helpless on the side of the road somewhere, and vulnerable to predators.

I know how to check oil and coolant. And I might be able to change a tire if I had to. But it's hard enough to get me to pop the hood to even check the coolant!!! I've been having a coolant issue with my car recently.
I could maybe change a battery. But in my VW it's very difficult to get to the battery. Oh well, one less thing I need to worry about learning.

Way to go, Missy!! Just don't let Bruce know because he'll expect me to learn too.
