Default Re: Skills Necessary To Own & Operate A Model "A"

Once one get used to it, the Model A is much easier to work on than a modern car. It took me a day to change the thermostats (two) in my 2016 truck and another day to change the fuel filter (Diesel engine). So I would argue that the skill set is much greater for working on a modern car. How many out there in Model A land wrench on their modern car?
