I just called my tech back, and told him to replace the alternator while it's in the shop. I really want to be able to fix things on my cars, since cars are my hobby. Did you guys take auto mechanics classes or mechanical engineering background? Where can I start to learn about fixing cars? Take evening classes auto shop 101 at a local community college?

In 16 years, my 300E stranded me on the street only twice, which is not bad. The other time was in the freeway about 6 - 7 years ago, when distributor cap went broke for some reason. What other things should I expect that would cause the car to have me stranded in the future? I want to replace those parts now ha ha
