Really wanna learn to wrench.

If anyone who works on cars would like to teach me or show me some things that would be cool. Planning on going to the amt program at hcc next year.

best thing to do is to start with simple things like oil changes and tune ups. when it comes to removing and installing parts, its really about attention to detail. take your time and take notes while you are removing parts and 99.9% it will go back in the way it came out.

if you really are that hard up on learning host an install day or you can even offer to come and watch/help when some of these guys get new parts.

^^it's not the same

I wish there was alot more install days. It seems like everybody want to keep their installs a secret.

I might have a install day at the end of April
