Yo the first claim was that the F1 mechanic takes their own car to a mechanic. So, that part is equivaleny and very “on base”. I also already conceded that I totally get it if they just mechanic stuff all day and don’t want to go home just to work on their own vehicle. Modern vehicles have more parts, for sure, but they are not prohibitively complex, especially for a professional race car mechanic. Besides, those big jobs rarely happen, if ever, and most of the time you’re just changing brakes, spark plugs, headlights, etc. and any schmuck with some hand tools and a Youtube video should be able to do that as long as they aren’t brain-dead.
So I don’t know why you’re looking to be so mad, maybe you feel like you’re part of the “brain-dead” portion and are feeling attacked, but buddy I’m consistent and staying relevant to the conversation.
The F1 thing has nothing to do with what I said. And yes, many of them are prohibitively complex, including software. Which is why the right to fix stuff even exists. I run a shop at a high end dealership. We are well beyond spark, fuel, and air being the only.relevant contributors.
“Yo the first claim” refers to what prompted me to enter this thread.
You run a shop and you don’t understand that simple, common jobs are easy enough to handle on your own? That, or maybe you work for a manufacturer so bad they regularly see vehicles come in for insane problems?
I dunno, I drive Subarus and they’re super easy, even a pleasure, to work on and there really hasn’t been much getting in my way so far. I fully agree that nothing should be locked away and people deserve the right to do their own repairs but even with that not being the case I also don’t completely give up on small jobs because a repair I’ll never do is not currently possible.
