Already did a Intro post but needed a new one to clarify a few things!

[Joseph27705]

I am 18, I have a 2004 grand prix GT, I will be starting school soon to be a mechanic, I will ask alot of random questions in different sections just to start gaining more knowledge as I go. I love automobiles and that is why I want them to be my career, I am planning on specializing in GM vehicles (hopefully)! I hope that you can all have patience for my dumb questions and be willing to help out when I need it, I will be on these forums for a long time as I plan on only owning GP as my DD, I love them! I will eventually be making How To and DIY posts and sharing different upgrades/Mods i make on my vehicle as well. Anywho hope to see you all around!! take care and have a great day!

Welcome from Raleigh

NICE!!! I was wondering where the NC people are, I am in Durham!

I'm in much the same boat as you, Joesph, except that I can't really afford to go to school to be a mechanic, so I'm picking things up at work, from friends who are mechanics, and books.

Good luck!

welcome. experience is the best teacher. so the best way to learn is to grab a project car and start working on that mofo.

This.

I can school most of the newbs and I've never been to school for mechanics

It's a hobby...I could never do it all day; everyday.

With that said, welcome to the site, there is tons of info here if you're willing to look.

[Joseph27705]

I looked into it at my local library, I am not sure where they got the info they have but they say they dont have "alldata" but they do have some good info, I am looking for an actual book that I can take when I go out of town to look over and study though.
