I think your kid is the exception to the rule... these days... when a teenager
is
"into cars", it means they know all the statistics, for all the latest hot
cars... and they know all about the latest bolt-on performance equipment that
they can buy. It doesn't mean that they would actually dismantle and rebuilt
their own carbs or suspension, etc... They either pay a shop to do it... or,
if
it's a bolt-on performance item, they might do it themselves... but only if one
Metrinch set, a crescent wrench, and one screwdriver bit set will do the job.

P.S. And teenagers today no longer mistake a Triumph for an MGB, like they
used
to... because they don't know what an MGB is.
