My first car repair:D

Rather easy fix only annoying thing was the battery blocking the bulb so I had to fiddle it in until the threads caught. Glad theres a walmart open 24/7 sadly they were all locked up manager told me they had 2 grand worth of bulbs stolen alone.

Anyway proud of myself as it's my first car repair.

That's awesome. I think one of my first "repairs" was replacing a turn signal bulb, and it felt so rewarding when it started working again. Doing your own car work, especially on less serious things like this, can save you so much money in the long run. Plus it's nice to be familiar with your car and how it works.

I say this, but I rarely ever work on my car. When I was growing up my dad had me work on cars with him regularly, so I can change oil, tires, brake pads, etc. But I think it's really gross and I really don't like it, so I always take it to a shop. (The silver lining here is knowing more about cars helps me see if someone is trying to rip me off or charge me for a bunch of unnecessary services.)

Its cool to see more female mechanics out there, although I paid a girl $100 one time and she ripped me off and left half way done. My fault though for being nice and trying to help someone out that needed it at the start 🤷‍♂️. Not trying to turn it into a gender thing you just dont see many females in my area knowing that much about cars.

And now it begins newbie. Wait until repair number 500, then you got something to brag about... or maybe cry about?
