    Oh, I’ve done plenty of work on cars, I just don’t fuck with the brakes.

    Well, I used to, when I had an 80s Toyota. Modern cars are too hard to work on, and honestly don’t need that much work either.

        And have changed so little over the years. If you could change disc brakes 30 years ago, you can do it today.

        That’s obviously false. Tons of stuff is both lower stakes and easier than brakes. Changing simple stuff like lights, fuses, battery, wiper blades, wheels or oil, tons of other stuff. The only way brakes is the easiest part to work on is by arbitrarily excluding lots of other stuff from counting as “working on your car”.
