I can feel your enthusiam for cars. I feel the same way, so I'm taking a an adult continuing education class. It starts next week Monday. Why don't you try doing that? I'm not talking about a whole 12 month program at a trade school either, it's just a class that teaches the fundamentals - charging system, tune-ups, braking system, etc. And if I like the class and the school then next semester I'll take another class. You should look into it. It really isn't that expensive and I get eight 3 hour sessions
