with any car we have those that had good luck and bad,
I'll have my son Adam
look through the Outback forum so he can get an idea
of what to expect.B I'll
go through it also since I end up doing all their
car work.B I make him help

been something that interested
him.
There is one maintenance thing he likes to do on cars that I have never
understood.B He likes to R & R the brakes.B A dirty messy job, but for some
reason he likes to do it so I encourage him and try to have the brake job
lead
to other things.B He is good at his job as a building maintenance tech
though.
Thanks Everyone
