I love cars. I love DRIVING cars. Automatic transmissions bore the hell out of me as a driver. WORKING ON cars is another matter.

Working on cars has never held any allure. There is no satisfaction in getting filthy and frustrated in a garage reading car manuals and diagrams.

This weekend, however, was different.

With the gloomy, rainy weather and several "projects" that had been ordered for our "project car" my perspective changed.

I certainly wasn't the captain of this fix-it ship but I DID embody a pretty good assistant. (Especially because I'm great at picking up the mess as we went along AND my fingers are smaller than the head mechanic).

What did "we" get done?

  • Installed new automatic hood struts
  • Installed new air filters
  • Installed new battery and tie-down

It may not be the beginning of a new career, but at least I know it's not the 7th Circle of Hell on a rainy Saturday...

The moral of the story: If you want to drive the car, you have to work on the car....or at least give it your best shot.
