Something I noticed, my brother loves talking about car tuning and shit. So he likes doing ECM tuning which is like a quick fix/hack on the engine to boost it, by getting around the governor. I mean its not bad, but the kit is already done, and all you do is add in the piece. However, i got to talking about my older car, and i noticed he didnt actually know jack fuck about anything. He didn't know how manual transmissions worked, how an automatic transmission works, what a cam was, what a MAF sensor does, etc. Actually, outside some super basic terms, this guy didnt know much of anything about cars. But he had no problem proclaiming his love of car tuning and shit. And this isnt just engines, its everything, he loves proclaiming knowledge over things he fucking knows nothing about. So i told him the MAF sensor on my car is faulty, and one of the synchronizers needs to be replaced, and i got the shocked pikachu face right after that one, cause he had absolutely no fucking clue what any of those parts do

If he's young and stupid, he's young and stupid lol. We all were. At least he has a passion for something. He just might like the electronic tinkering side of cars more than the mechanical. Educate your brother if your the one with the knowledge, see where that takes him.
