New cars nowadays aren't worth a Sheet! They done made them so fancy and
complicated, a shade tree mechanic like me can't hardly work on
them.What good is owning a vehicle you don't know how to work on?

Most of them are not meant to be worked on . Unless one is an elf-
sized .

I do my own tuneups, brakes, body maintenance, etc. There's not much
else to do on a 100% made in Japan car. I will need to split the engine
in 2 at 100K to replace the timing belts and water pump. But that's the
curse of getting 175 HP out of a motor the size of a carryon bag.
