neither are nutty. they just have different interests. not sure why it has to be one or the other. i'm sure there have been plenty on both sides since the beginning of the automobile.
when i'm in my dart or cutlass i listen to things and fix it when it needs to be fixed. not daily drivers so i can play with them as i feel like it. no rush.
when in my honda, subaru or gmc i'm aware of things but hell i don't even check the oil in those cars. they have proven that i really don't have to worry about them so much. honda has 90k on it and other then routine maintenance it has needed nothing well other then being repaired the two times its been hit..lol if they make a strange noise or something maybe i'll look at it some but most of the time i'll just drop them off at the dealer. they are my dailys (well not the GMC but thats brand new and i'm not touching it) and have them fix it. i can't be bothered with them.
i keep jamie in something newer (brand new at this point) or she just uses AAA. she will call me and ask a few questions but if i'm an hour away at work there usually isn't much that i can do for her. i'd much rather have AAA or the dealer mess with the car then someone that doesn't understand them to either make the problem worse or hurt themselves trying to fix it..
in the end who really gives a crap. if you like, understand and enjoy working on them then knock yourself out. if you don't like,understand or enjoy working on them then pay someone to do it. there is no wrong way...
