Car repair and maintenance is my hobby. I only bring my car to a mechanic when I need big time work done. I don't have a transmission jack or an engine lift, and I don't weld exhaust. All the money I save in maintenance and work helps pay for those expensive jobs.

The car I just bought is pure electric so I have no idea what to do with it- will be paying the company for maintenance. Not much needs to be done on an EV though. I'm having so much fun driving it that I probably won't repair the failing turbo on my BMW and will buy a second EV.
