And another side note: The power of positive thinking. Don't set yourself up to fail by saying you know you're going to suck at being a mechanic. If you put half that effort into feeding yourself some positive thoughts, you will have much better results. You can do
anything you put your mind to. If that's really what you want to do, then
do it! Don't let anyone stop you. The most successful people are the ones that had doors slammed in their faces, were told they would never succeed... but their own determination and attitude made their own success happen.
That's my two cents
