I get it’s intimidating but believe me when I say normal maintenance on cars is really easy. Pretty much everything you would ever need to know is on YouTube. If teenage boys can do it, so can you.

as someone with a 26 year old jeep cherokee, there have been lots of things that i've had go wrong with my car. when i lived back home, i got to just rely on my dad to fix it for me and never paid much attention. i knew the basics (changing tires, changing my oil, refilling various fluids) but when i looked under the hood nothing meant anything to me. now i live a 20 hour drive from home and am far too broke to be able to go to the mechanic all the time so, still very much with my dad's guidance over facetime and him sending me youtube videos, i've learned to fix a lot of stuff on my own. i've changed my oil at my apartment in the middle of the city, changed my belt, replaced sensors, fixed my battery, etc. i still have no idea what i'm doing most of the time and don't know the names of most of the parts, but i always feel so satisfied after successfully fixing something. my dear jeep frederick may be old and beat up and likes to break down on me frequently, but we're in this together 🫶🏻

Buy it and drive it like it owes you money. Learn to work on it, how to diagnose things. Do it.

I love checking the oil in my car. Something so soothing about it (and just generally good for car maintenance). Also last year one of my headlights randomly went out and I decided to take a stab at it at 1 in the morning - wikiHow said that it was probably an issue with the fuses, so I opened those up. Turns out the lightbulb was just dead lol. Still felt good! Now I just need to learn how to change a tire

There’s always room for fun and whimsy but infantilizing yourself (esp as a woman) is a dangerous game to play. Take proper care of yourself, it’s a good thing to be a grownup. “im baby” is no more!!!

Just like back in the old internet days when you'd read an internet word like gif that never came up in irl conversations and everyone kinda just had their own perception of it.
