So, who has taught you about cars?

Started taking things apart at a very young age couldn't put them back but that was the beginning[my father was a woodworker knew nothing about mechanics],hanging out around folks that built race cars on my block,ended up helping build race cars, test driving them, worked in the pits, then started building my own street cars ,it's an illness you can't recover from.I learned from the school of hard knocks no formal training and i'm still learning at 52 years old,my wife thinks i'm crazy to stay out in the garage half the night working on my cars thinks i should give it up and relax i tell her that my cars are my relaxation.
