Any advice for someone who wishes to learn about car repair?
I have always wanted to learn a little about car repair. I have never in my life known anyone who was into that kinda thing so I dont know anyone who can teach me. I dont want to become a menchanic so Im not talkin about going to a school or something like that. Im just lookin for maybe a book or website or anything that could maybe help me pick up a few things when it comes to car repair

Carpet Shark Luver:  Buy a repair manual for your vehicle and start doing maintainance and easy repairs on your own vehicle. Also there's a book out there called 'Car Repair for Dummies' or something like that which is supposed to be very helpful. =)
