how did you learn to work on cars?

Rani,

Don't let them get to you.

The biggest difference in more females doing male dominated work is physical strength. If you can overcome the strength part you got it whipped.

I learned from my dad also. He worked for Chrysler as a machine repairman, was a license mechanic so on the side he would inspect cars and work on them for my uncle who owned a body shop. I was with dad all the time when he wasn't working at Chrysler and I wasn't in school, doing whatever I could to help.

Mom said from the time I was 2 if I found a screwdriver watch out something was coming apart.

At 14 I was working on cars myself, fixing my older brother and sisters cars. 2years auto mechanics as part of high school, rebuilt my 1st engine for my 67 Barracuda at 16 (273 hipo out of sisters Formula S)

I still learn stuff today, if you aren't learning your DEAD.

Don't care to work on cars like I use too. Don't mind the older stuff and cars that are not my daily drivers. But hate the new computer controlled stuff.

I know I have forgotten a lot of stuff, but when challenged seens to come back, the worst thing is working on something and never really moving and cannot find my tools They must have grown legs and walked off.

Read as much as you can, do as much as you want, just remember to clean the grease out from under your fingernails before going out on the town ........LOL
