    Basic maintenance is something that every car owner should know before they haul a 3000+ lb pile of steel down the road. Not knowing the basics of how your car works is a great way to destroy your engine, break your suspension, or get you or someone else killed when your brakes inevitably fail because you never check your pads.

    Edit: Okay if you don’t own a car, that’s fair. But if that changes, please learn how do simple things like maintain tire pressure, change all your fluids (oil, transmission fluid, coolant, diff fluid, etc.), and replace brake pads. All simple stuff that needs to be done, and can be done using nothing but YouTube, some basic tools, and an hour or two of your time.

      Some people simply don’t own or drive cars.

      I live in a place where I didn’t need my drivers licence until my late 30s, and barely use it.
