Default RE: Who Works on Their Car?

Oh my, I used to do all my own work. My first engine changeout (a long time ago!) was swapping the underpowered flathead four in my '55 Willy's for a Hurricane 6. Shoot, I can remember the days when my Grand Dad would change his old Studebaker's oil and dump it in the storm drain -- Don't do that today, we didn't know then what we know now! Over the years I have torn up a lot of knuckles and cleaned a lot of grease from under my fingernails. I still do all my own car care, and recently installed the cold air intake on my Magnum. But I must admit, alas, the joints don't bend as well anymore and the back seems to stiffen up a lot quicker than it used to, so I take the cars in for most things.
