Sure, I can understand that, and I too would love to fix things myself. Unfortunately for me, in the time that I have become interested in FE, I have lived hours from home and my father's garage, with no place to practice. Many apartment complexes do not allow your to work on your car in the parking lot, so that can be a big deterrent to experimenting at home. Additionally, for me, I am hesitant to potentially screw up my only source of transportation. I would prefer to get a junker to work on, but then again, I have no place to do it, and am limited in how many cars I can have in the parking lot. I'd be interested to find out how many people here live in a rental property. I'd like to take some classes at a community college, but don't have the time to do so, as I am already a full time student and a part time worker.
