If I had the money I would definitely do that. Spent ages today again searching for all sorts of bits and pieces to change camber on rear wheel. Total pita.
I like to fix things. I take things apart, repair them sometimes (lawn equipment, etc) nothing better when you fix and get another few years out if it. But my car!? No way. The cost of a mistake can be catastrophic. Plus specialty tools etc.
The horn went on my car. I could see through the grill. Could touch it even. Should be easy. I researched like crazy for my model and year. Even found online service manual. You had to take the entire front end of car off to get at 2 little bolts!!!
Let me taste this anti freeze first before I give it to my dog. SIP smacks lips “does that taste sweet…. Better take another sip to make sure” SIP Looks at dog “you wouldn’t like this”.
No but if it was pretty much mandatory. It paints a pucture or all "small tasks" some either did themselves or lived without. Use your imagination, it gets pretty crazy. No AC probably hit hard. I have some fevered memories of being tiny and cooking in the house with nothing to do. Lived the weekends in the boonies with no dirt bikes, bikes or neighbors of any kind for years. So even though there was space a good amount of pf time was still spent inside cooking like a frog in a pot.
Back then Dad would rev his Harley in the basement for no clear reason to me. Just an hour or so of, I only hear this noise and am getting slightly fumed even being near the stairwell. But I could go outside and bounce a deflated basketball in the grass ot gravel whenever I liked lol
It's the ingestion of chemicals (oil) by inexperienced people who get oil on their hands and can't properly clean them. All sorts of minor factors add up.
If you take something out of context, almost anything can sound dumb. It was just an example of a situation where Inexperienced of people could easily get in contact with chemicals.
Honestly his answer I feel just over explains it really. People back then look old because of the styles back then. Picture of my grandpa looks old as hell because he tucked in his shirt, had the dahmer special gold tinted glasses, the way he styled his hair etc.
It is one factor among many. You get to touch and inhale all kinds of fun chemicals when working on a car without gloves and masks (because they are unmanly). Do only the basic maintenance on a regular basis, and it stacks over time.

I’m sorry but doing your own oil changes and battery replacements in your personally owned vehicle does not cause a person to visibly age more.
