I never really understood why some automotive enthusiasts are afraid to work on their own muscle cars. Simple things like changing their own brake bads, rotors, and oil. Come on man, I know everyone can learn to do these things. At first I was scared, but that was back in high school honestly. Just a little sweat, following of directions, and the right tools I think anyone can get the job done. Yeah, I've been there sometimes trying to pry off a nut, but with the "right tools" such as a breaker bar you can get the job done.

It's fun too, but remember safety comes first. I ended up just buying new floor jack because this old one I bought from Murrays just wasn't cutting it anymore. It was starting to rust and it didn't jack up my girlfriends Dodge Durango real well. So since it was coming up short, I ended up taking a trip over to Harbor Freight in Roseville, picked up a new and bulkier one and it works just great!

My Dad for instance never works on his cars or muscle cars in the past. He always takes them to the mechanic, no matter if it just a simple light bulb replacement. I remember when he told me the bulb on my Trans Am burnt out, he's like "just take it up to the dealership and they'll fix it. I'm thinking in my head, "just for a bulb?" Um, I'll go up to Murrays and replace it myself in a matter of seconds. I mean come on people, lets not be lazy hear. I guess you have to have some will and energy to work on your own car. Myself, the thought of saving $100 - $300 is enough for me to try and fix it myself.
