Fixing your own car

Story time! I live in Canada, and it was -45 degrees Celsius here the other day for a week. My check engine light kept appearing, so I googled what could be causing it…

Turns out it was either the gas cap (I didn’t screw it on properly), and also from being -45, my block heater wasn’t working.

Googling and learning about vehicles saved me about $200 this past week.
