About the time I learned how to fix things under the hood, cars changed. I haven’t fixed anything since my Maverick and that was… aaak!… 30+ years ago.
I was the chief mechanic on the pit crew for the extended families [Dad and two uncles] Studebaker Commanders; great way to pay for prom junior and senior year of high school in the early 60s.
Reminds me of my Toyota Tacoma. It doesn’t even have a coil and plug wires, but it DOES have 6 COILS!! IF you can find them under the slab of plastic which is the ONLY THING you see when you open the hood!
A MAJOR difference from my 3 collector cars, 2 Model A Fords, and a 64’ Corvair…

I always did my own maintenance. Newer cars are actually easier to work on and with just a programer. But if the computers go your toast.
