Greetings from South FL Hello all,
New to car stuff as I grew up in NYC, there you only own a car if you don't mind paying upwards of $1k/month for parking hehe. I don't have any modifications on my car, and don't really intend to do too much in that respect, but I'm very interested in learning to do as much maintenance and upkeep myself as possible on my 2005 Civic DX. I'm tired of throwing my hard earned cash at mechanics who all too often take advantage of my lack of car knowledge. Obviously some jobs are going to be beyond my abilities, either because I don't have the tools or the know how, but basic stuff like oil/filter changes, brake jobs, etc I'd like to start doing myself. I'm also generally interested in learning more about how exactly the engine works. I have some basic knowledge of "classical" mechanics, so I think this should be within my reach. The internet is just too full of good info and people willing to be generous with their knowledge/experience to not get more involved and save some serious cash in the process. I write software and like to experiment with data science, and in coding/tech forums you'll often find pro's willing to break you off with some serious knowledge. I'm starting to realize that this can be similar with auto's, like in this forum. What a godsend! Peace and blessings from South Florida ...
