I'm not saying you can't google a video on how to do work on you car. But read his posts - he does everything under the sun on his car and calls mechanics dumb high school drop outs, yet drives a car that needs technicians to have a college degree and specialized training to work on (insert sleeper spin here that he did that on purpose to not deal with high school drop outs, derrrp). He's usually full of shit, but more so this. Can sleeper fix a couple things with his Lowes socket wrench kit? Most likely, but to come on here and spew this kind of crap is moronic.

Seriously, if you are having car problems, type the problem into Google. 9/10 it'll be something like "Oh just replace such and such" that you can get for $5 at a auto-parts store and fix it yourself. Google pretty much eliminates the need for mechanics of any sort; at this point you are basically just paying money because you are lazy and/or want to transfer the risk of your maintenance to someone else(expensive!).
