[The Art Doctor]

I had an early 911 when I was a much younger man and took it to a specialty shop to have a bit of work done. That experience taught me a very valuable lesson. I'd rather buy the tools and trip over them for the next 35 years than pay anyone to do anything on any of my cars, motorcycles, boats, washer & dryer or anything else that was assembled by a human ever again. YouTube has made being a self-repairer easier than ever. It may take me longer and I might not get it right the first time but in the end I know it was done right and I can repeat if and when necessary. New cars are not user friendly for repairing, the two we have go to a local independent when anything creeps. Biggest hurdle I see is getting old, the physical stuff catches up to most of us.
