jcmason 03/28/24 8:27:01 AM #2:	I've changed an alternator, a fanbelt, and batteries/wiper blades of course. I also helped my brother-in-law replace my radiator fan assembly once, though he is far more knowledgeable about cars so he did the bulk of the work. I've also replaced the positive battery terminal fuse module on my car, which isn't difficult either. But anything beyond that, I've not done myself. I'd just take it to a shop. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i9-12900KF\|Z690-F\|12GB 3080 RTX\|64GB DDR5\|2TB NVMe <cite>jcmason posted [p:979604993] in Do most yo...

Goldenguy 03/28/24 9:14:33 AM #5:	I haven't needed more than a new tire and oil changes in close to 20 years and I haven't done my oil changes in a while. I generally keep newer vehicles. Current vehicle is staying as it will be my girl's first car when she's older, so it will eventually have some first hand maintenance. --- Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.

RetuenOfDevsman 03/28/24 9:40:11 AM #10:	I don't do anything that can go wrong. The other day, I tried to wake up my work laptop by tapping on the keyboard, when it wasn't attached to the keyboard, or powered on, or even on the desk at all. If that had been my car, and I was trying to start it without any oil in it, well... This is why I don't do anything that can go wrong, including literally anything automotive.
