I was wondering how many of you guys are your own uncertified mechanics (and not just on the Stang) on all the cars you own. You change your own oil, brakes etc.... I do, but what happens when you have a major problem w/the Motor, Tranny or something that is a little out of your league. Will you attempt to fix?? or will you take it to the "Pros"?????

I do most of my own shit. Some times I will go to a mechanic if I don't feel like fucking with it or if it is something I can't do like an alignment.

BTW, did you ever figure out that smog shit you were having trouble with?
