Its very simple once you get the concept of what makes a car or 240 in this case. It then becomes like lego's. I dont see how wrenchin on your own car would affect your future career. In fact, for us engineers, wrenching now, will better our career in the future.

I guess people are interpreting my post as different things. It's not black or white. I'm just saying people would like to invest time in their priorities. My professor's priorties were vehicle dynmaics and control systems. I think all he did was go to school, get his Ph.D, and get a job "designing stuff."

By all means, if you have free time, wrench away. That's what I do. I just wanted to point out why preferring not to wrench shouldn't be considered a bad thing.
