hello, my name is dave **group says "hello dave"**, and i'm an addict.**group applauds**. anyone ever notice how when someone introduces themselves, it always sounds like we're in some kind of a self help group? anyway, as i said, i'm dave, i'm 20 years old. and i gained most of my automotive knowledge (which really isn't a whole lot) by owning several rolling junkyards. i spent a lot of time working on these heaps of scrap metal. there has been a 95 dodge grand caravan, a 92 chrysler lebaron, and a 91 ford taurus. i know these vehicles like the back of my hand. the lebaron and the taurus are still running, but due to a little neglect on my part, the caravan's block cracked. you see, i was having a little cooling problems to begin with, and then the radiator fan bearings went out. i think you can guess where it went from there. if only i'd taken better care of her. i loved that van. since her demise she has been reborn in the hands of a cousin who dropped a new motor and trans in. the rest of my automotive knowledge i have amassed by reading books, and managing a jiffy lube for about a year. i would like to consider myself a jack-of-all-trades do-it-yourselfer, but there is still quite a bit out there that i would love to learn. compared to many people, i know a lot, but compared to a few, i know nothing. i can do electrical work, plumbing, and some heavier duty carpentry. wayne, i'm sorry to hear that you've recieved some rude emails. that kind of thing really doesn't need to happen. everyone take care, and good luck, because a lot of you are here because of car troubles. adios.
