I do all the work on all my vehicles. The term "wrenching" when referring to working on a modern car is almost outdated. Anytime there's an issue with my newer car, 90% of my time in the garage consists of using a scan tool and a multimeter. 9% is spent carefully trying to separate an electrical connecter without breaking it and 1% turning a wrench.

Working on the Model A is a joy compared to that lol
