I'm a total idiot with a total idiot car (2013 Honda CR-V, 87k miles, all but 7 of those are me personally driving it) and I did my first fix today at 44 years old. I feel like such an idiot and a toddler being so happy about it, but, still, yeah, I think I finally got the wrenching bug late in life. $17 of parts to replace my own turn signal bulbs.

I'm also kicking myself over all the dumb crap I have paid someone else to do to this car over the years when the secret is just like writing computer code: watching Indian guys on YouTube!

Hell yeah! YouTube certified mechanic stickers are a thing.

Factory service manuals are available and will cover every nut bolt and washer on your car. Then they're just giant adult Legos.

I literally said that last part to myself as I was replacing the last bulb. It's just like my computers. Nothing more than a big adult LEGO kit.
