Yeah, right now even not being a mechanically inclined person, I still try do as many basic things on my cars and simple repairs around the house. My first car was a 91 chevy cavalier and even when I was 16-17 I could change oil, filters, battery, headlights, tail lights, gasket seals, brake pads with some help. My 2012 edge I have now leaves my hands bloody and me wanting to set the thing on fire as I cuss the engineers who desiged it. My moms chrysler is even worse. My dad and I were going to put a battery in it and the fucking thing was impossible to get to. You had to take the fucking wheel off it to remove it! I had an inlaw buy a new f250 over the weekend and Im pretty sure his payment is a mortgage payment equivalent. There is going to have to be a bubble pop at some point because the new cars have sooo much high tech shit on them that cost 1000s to fix and people are taking 6-7yr loans on them. The average simp american will not be able to maintain this if the economy crashes.
