Thank you guys!
 

I just wanted to say that when I got this car in 2013, I was super excited but more than a little bit intimidated and overwhelmed by all the information to be found here. Until this car, the most work I ever did on my cars besides washing them was oil changes on my old truck because it was easy to reach everything, and swapping out rims with snow tires / summer tires. Oh and I changed a PCV valve and spark plugs on my old protege5 one time. But that was it.

Since I got this car, I learned how to replace brake pads, rotors, and calipers, I learned how to replace my downstream oxygen sensor, replace coils, plugs, and wires, I learned how the headlights level themselves, how to inspect and clean the MAF, how to retrain the car's fuel trim settings after disconnecting the battery, and how to swap out the starter.

And it's all thanks to passionate folks like you guys. Thank you so much.

You're welcome on behalf of everyone.
It's nice to see a positive experience.:)
I've learned a lot also in 3 yrs.
I read posts here every day and I am still learning.
It is an addiction.

It is! Last night, when I was underneath the car, chest soaked in pb blaster that i was using to try to free up the top long bolt on the starter, and getting a bit dizzy by the fumes as well, I remarked to my dad how much fun I was having and how now I understood how he felt 30 years ago when I was the one standing by the side handing over socket wrenches and cans of stuff to him :)
