@realfrugalmogul Don’t feel so bad I failed replacing clutch sensor and total car. Now I only go Japanese sedans. Oil + filter changes and spark plugs are as far as I can go.
@PhdDavinsky No different than working and learning the rules to be more efficient and accurate in a real life job. Deeper question is why not more of everyone else do the same as Asians? It’s a choice not many want to bare.
