My son is out in the garage working on his truck, changing the rotors and brake pads. Part of my dad definitely lives on in my son - he could fix anything on a car. My son looks at things, and somehow his mind figures out how it works and he fixes it. That's how he fixed the latch on his car hood recently. For the brakes though, I made him watch some learn-to videos and talk to his mechanic friend first before he attempted it. Not that I don't trust his very mechanical mind, but..... this is brakes we're talking about here.....! Plus our neighbor works on cars all the time, and he has already borrowed tools from him once to do his recent oil/oil filter change, so it's comforting knowing he's there to lend a hand if my son needs it. My h knows nothing about working on cars, and beyond changing oil I am pretty useless too.
