The first thing I remember taking apart was a pocket watch that did not work, I was about five or six I guess and it never went back together at all.
The one difference between 180, alaxfire, me and the other old guys and the new, younger crowd getting into these high-tech/performance cars is:
we grew up changing oil, tuning up (cap/rotor/condenser/POINTS), brakes, replacing the odd ball joint/tie rod end, etc. on whatever we had. Our dads were usually involved.
My first foray into supervised auto repair was replacing the clutch on my folks '67 Mustang after I burned it up.
Ain't the same, guys. Ain't the same.
Sadly.
