I'm a 21 year old bartender going to school for business. I don't really know a lot about cars, but I know a lot of people who do and they are always willing to help and educate me.

42 yr old Lead Aviation Tech for Fedex, 15 yrs. 20 yrs in aviation maintenance. I rebuilt my first car engine when I was 14, chevy 327, and have been maintaining and repairing my own cars since. I've done 2 headgasket jobs on my Legends and been into most every other system. I'm not much into the mods. I think modding the Legend only takes away from it.
It's just my opinion, It's your Legend, go for it.
One day I'll make enough money to pay someone to fix my car. Until then I just enjoy repairing my junk. I also repair electrical stuff like Tv's and appliances. This year I impressed myself by repairing my Toshiba big screen. It was quite a challenge but I finally got it.

I'm 22, and a nurse. I really enjoy learning about my legend- but I usually wait until something goes wrong to learn.

my mechanical experience goes as far as simple diy's on this fourm and whatever i can fix with either duck tape or crazy glue (both at full suply in my trunk). i'm 18
35, manager at a gift and engraving store. Before that job I worked in watches and clocks for 10 years. Before that I was in home electronics. All of the jobs required some technical skill. I can do minor watch repair, set up home audio/video equipment, engraving with a CNC engraving machine, and build computers. I also got my MCT for Windows server and workstation a few years ago.
Up until now I have had very limited ability to work on my own car as I live in an apartment and have limited tools. I am in escrow on my first home purchase so I hope to put a lot more of my "head" knowledge to use in a practical way with the cars in the future.
I have a very good mechanic and after almost 20 years with one Honda or another, 3 replaced engines, and 2 replaced clutches I have gotten pretty good at diagnosis on car repairs. My mechanic is also friendly enough to anwer my questions and show me stuff on the car when i ask.
If I could I would be a service writer for car repairs. I used to basically write service orders for watches and clocks and I was pretty good at it.
Regards
