HI EVERYONE I AM VERNESSA, I BECAME A MEMBER BC I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO WORK ON MY FORD. I AM DENTAL ASSISTANT HERE IN EAST COUNTY AND A MOTHER OF THREE AGES 2 1/2 THRU 13 YRS OLD. I GREW UP WITH A DAD WHO WORKED FOR ALAN JOHONSON PORSCHE AND AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT WAS ON ROSECRANS IN THE 80'S. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED GOING FAST AND WHEN I COULD DRIVE AT AGE 18, I FOUND OUT THAT I LIKED DRIVING FAST AS WELL. THROUGHOUT MY YOUNG ADULT LIFE MY DAD DID MY MAINTANCE ON MY VEHICLES. IN 03 HE HAD A STROKE AND COULDNT WORK ANYMORE PHYSICALY, MENTALLY MY DAD COULD WALK U THRU A FUELPUMP CHANGE ON A AUDI GTI WITH NO PROBLEM AND THEN SOME. SO WITH THE DEVESTATING LIFE EVENT I HAD TO START PAYING FOR LABOR AND PARTS AT RETAIL VALUE, OR FIND SOME CHEAP LABORERER (THAT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING). FINIALLY I FIND A SPOUSE THAT IS MECHANICLLY INCLINED, UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NEVER EVER GET MY SPOUSE TO FIX MY CAR. THANK GOD I HAVENT HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY FORD, JUST THE ANNOYING SMALL ISSUES.... SO I SIGNED UP BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO MY MECHANICS MYSELF. I HAVE CHANGED MY OWN FLAT TIRE (WHILE PREGO) ON A FORD AEROSTAR VAN AND I CAN CHECK FLUIDS AND UNDERSTAND DIRECTIONS. WITH THAT KNOWELEGE AND KNOWING HOW TO TURN A WRENCH THE RIGHT WAY AND LEFT WAY I AM HOPEING TO FIX WHATEVER ISSUES ARISE WITH MY 99 LIMITED FORD EXPLORER THAT HAS 171,000 MILES ON IT AND A IMPRESSIVE RECORDS LOG FROM THE OWNER BEFORE ME. I LOOK FORWARD TO READING THRU SOME FORUMS AND LEARNING SOME NEW THINGS.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY INTRO. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU
VERNESSA
