I have a confession

I want to learn how to work on cars. Ok, I said it. Wow, that is a weight off my shoulders. I was just talking with one of my good friends, Chris (a major car guy), and we got on the topic of cars becasue of my race last night. The more we talked the more I felt comfortable, so I finally told him that I have always wanted to learn how to work on cars and just never had the courage to ask him to teach me. I have known Chris since I was 8 or 9 years old or something like that and I never thought it was ok to ask him to teach me. I always figured it was a guy bonding time and I didnt want to intrude on that. I also feel somewhat intimidated when car guys are talking about a bunch of car stuff i dont know about. I dont even know how to drive a stick shift because i never had the courage to allow someone to teach me. I can say that I know how to change a flat, that is a step in the right direction. Anyway, Chris is unforunatley moving to Florida for a job he will love, so he cannot teach me right now. But he promised that the next time we have some time and we are in the same city, I can learn all about wrenching cars. I am so excited. Anyway, it feels so good to get this out in the open. I feel like I should be at a Cars Anonymous meeting. :) Have a good one.
