Huzzah for old hoopties! I drive a '97, myself. Doing all your own maintenance goes a long way in keeping your car running, both in terms of the money you spend and your ability to react calmly when something inevitably breaks on it.

It sure does! I'm no car expert but I can and have been doing basic maintenance on this car. Its a hooptie but it's serving us well.

Luckily, we live in a time where you don't have to be an expert, just need to be able to read and organize yourself!
