how old where you when you first work on a car

Been fn things up or running since 15.
Best was on family move to Idaho with 3 vehicles. 70 LTD waterpump let loose 30 miles from possible parts. Dad went for pump while I yanked in drizzle SW of Jordan Valley Oregon
Dad picked up wrong pump, I drove to hopefully pick up correct one and give him a needed break.

Got it rolling and made it to cabin around 10 pm.
School started following day. Bathed in morning stung by wasp in towel.

Beauty of 70 390 a/c power steering Ford bracketry is amazing as it worked fine til Dad traded in on new 78 K5 with 3 leftover brackets in the trunk.

I laugh every time I think about it.
