LOL! I got it. Two of my favorites.
My brother's gonna s**t, my brother's gonna kill us!
Well, which is it? Is he going to s**t, or is he going to kill us?
First, He's gonna s**t, then he's gonna kill us!
As to wrenching. My first vehicle in high school was an '82 Toyota 4X4, I was broke, I drove off road, stuff broke. I had to fix it myself or not drive. Steep learning curve. The best book I've found for learning to work on a car, any car, is by John Muir, How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, for the Complete Idiot. It takes a straight forward, almost zen approach to diagnoses, repair and prevention. Great book. If you want to learn about performance improvements, a good starter is How to Hotrod Volkswagens, from RPM Press. It's amazing how the stuff from the simplest of cars applies to just about all of them.
