My husband has even more years under HIS belt. It's a Camry. So H is already cussing about there not being enough room to work on the engine but I knew that was coming because he's always maintained my cars, which were small, too.
Then he knows better! They always wreck their first ones though BITE YOUR TONGUE MISTER. Don't speak that! . My buddies S17 just parked his HotRod in a ditch last weekend. Now the car sits. I worked on it and built the engine and helped get it going and his parents put WAY to much into it. The boy has no accountability.
Yours won't be that way though! Actually, no, he won't because he's having to work to pay for all the repairs. H and I will help some but we don't have any extra cash even between the two of us. H had S14 go online to the auto parts store and price everything. It's their project and I'm not getting in the middle of it but H is keeping it real for him and for that, I am glad. The kid isn't going to go tear up something he had to pay to get on the road.
