Automotive innocence

So..I grew up with Hot Wheels in my pocket in my bed and on my mind....I have been wrenching on these cars for 30 plus years. Most of what I have learned was out of necessity growing up with a single mother, if you wanted anything you better figure out how to get it...Its the old saying Necessity is the mother of invention...I hear every squeak, rattle, wind noise and, on and on and on. Sometimes I wish I could kind of shut it off. I find it kind of funny that my wife and kids have always had me around to fix their cars...they dont understand how much money they have saved by me working on the cars and, it's like they think every (sorry Rainy) guy can do it...like we were born with this knowledge. My daughter has recently bought a newer car that I dont care to really work on, general things that's fine, something major no thanks. I told her before she moved out she better have some cash stashed away in case something goes wrong with it because if its something major she is taking somewhere besides Dad's Automotive....lol
