Simple put, do you work on your own car, fix things around the house yourself?

Do you actually own the tools to do those things?

Yesterday, I replaced the read tire on my Harley, I took off the rear wheel, took it over to a Bike Mechanic who replaced the seals, put on a new tire (White Wall), replaced the inner tube with a new one that had balancing beads in it so the wheel doesn't need any weights on it for balancing. $335 later, I put the wheel back on, made a gauge to measure from the swing arm pivot bolt to the rear axle bolt to make sure my wheel was properly aligned. Used a gauge to measure proper tension on the drive belt at 10 lbs, then used a torque wrench to set the rear axle nut to 65 lbs which is according to the manual I downloaded to be the proper setting.

Next week, I got a check engine light and bought a blue tooth transmitter to plug into my truck to find out I need to replace my spark plugs and coils. It's a F-150 Ford, so there are 8 coils. I just got the new ones in the mail, only $115 for the set.

Just wondering how many of you would be able to do that, it's just the way I grew up, we fixed everything ourselves. I own a shit load of tools!

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that Last edited by Vendzilla; 01-26-2014 at 11:52 AM..
