Future of collector cars

When I was 15, I had a sohc 100cc Honda. During an all day ride and racing flat track style in a large field, the engine started having problems. A lot of the oil had splashed out the vent hose. I took it apart. The piston and cylinder were scored. Had it bored, replaced piston and rings, bolted it all together. On the road again. Just had a way of figuring out things.
When I was 17, best friend and another friend were changing plug wires on his 67 Dart and got confused. I went to the local gas station and asked about firing order. He handed me a book so I could look it up. I quickly memorized 18436572 and returned to my friends Dart. I took off all the plug wires and started from scratch. He then fired it up and they were amazed. That's how I became the go-to for some of my friends.
I didn't really like working on cars but it seemed to be where I ended up a lot.
