I totally understand and when I feel I have gotten into something over my head I have no issues brining it into a qualified technician for fix it properly for me unfortunately as I get older the want and need to work on any big jobs would rather pay an individual to do it for me. I still enjoy working on vehicles just not as much.

 

This forum has at least to very active Trained and certified in the auto mechanical industry. One is actually a Mazda factory trained Mazda Automotive Mechanic and diagnostic technician with year experience working on Mazda's and a few other makes.
I so understand the BIG job and not desiring to do them anymore. I looked at your profile, so I understand I am 30 days older than you. hahahahaha! My days of engine and transmission swapping are for the most part gone even for my own personal stuff. It is either too cold to hot or I just don't want to do the project. lol
here is an example just today of a member I tried to help.

Im feeling the same way if I'm in the mood to work on my vehicles I will but that's definitely changing as I get older simple stuff no issues more difficult tasks not so much any longer and I think your right we don't think of the knowledge or experience individuals have or their age as well even thought many want to share their knowledge with others which is great. 👍 We need to remember our age is just a number doesn't stop us from learning or sharing our knowledge and experience with others which is great to have that ability still.

 

soooooo is this really your name or is there more to the story? hahaha!

 

LOL since my first name is Alvin many individuals think of the Alvin the chipmunk its an easy way to remember my first name does make me laugh but it works should make him my profile picture. 😂

 

LOL I thought as much and ya you should!

 

👍 I took your suggestion and used him as my profile picture looks good.

 

……nice!

 

It looks like the picture might be too large to show up in the forum discussion area. You might try resizing it to the posted size limitations and reuploading it.

 

OH NO....I can't get that Hula Hoop Christmas song out of my head.....
