Hey...I'm sorry for my response too...I'm trying to become a respected member here and my reaction isn't helping my cause at all. I think that a chick that works on her car boots donkey and I applaud your willingness to learn. Most girls...at least the ones that I know..just like a car for the way that it looks..not the way that they perform or their potential for performance. If you want to learn mechanics my suggestion would be start small. Change your own oil, (if your not already), air filter, breaks, things of that nature. Become familar with the cars systems and where everything is and how they interact with each other or how they avoid interacting with each other...lol. Break the car up into pieces (metamorphicly at first;-) ) and try not to look at it as one unit, because that can be overwhelming at times. And my best piece of advice....read...read a lot..spend hour and hours flipping through the pages of your shop manual...you got one right? I spent all my free time pouring over the posts in this website for months before I even signed up...and I still left noob posts. But I have to admit I have an advantage over a lot of people when it comes to wrenching...I grew up on a farm that has junk equipment that always needs fixed. So from a very young age I was exposed to this sort of thing. Plus my dad is a major motor head to an always has a couple of hotrods around that we tinker with. So in short post away...you may get flamed but that's how we all learned the ropes around here. Good luck to you! Friends?
