One of the reasons I’ve been getting into wrenching is because a car is one of the only consumer products designed to be repaired. Whenever there’s a tear in one of my shirts or socks I find that the fabric is wearing thin everywhere else and if I sew this one, the next rip will open up in like a week. If my alarm clock quits working it’s probably got an epoxy blob, not a chip I can desolder and replace. Except for body panels, all the car parts I need are still being churned out by Chinese factories and the vehicle was built expecting that somebody was going to swap it out at some point. Replaced my evap solenoid today and it took literally two minutes.
