I often wonder what other people do
I own 4 cars. Newest one is 18 yrs old.
Obviously I do my own wrenching.
All but one 4WD.
Add up the cost of all and it would not add up to one new
cheapie KIA.
Makes you wonder why Russians are so much more stupid than me.
Full disclosure; my great grand father was in the Imperial Russian army.
I have two ‘18 year olds’. I’ll be working on one tomorrow. Rust in the top caliper bolt is causing the caliper to stick and pad scraping. After that some zip ties for the inside door panel which is loose.
Not living a Cuba lifestyle yet -but getting there.
I work on my own cars, too. In my youth, my favorite teacher (vo/tech) was descended from pre-Soviet Russians. Great man.
You own four automobiles. My guess is only two are insured at a time. Insurance is too damn high these days!
