I never understood how anyone could be shit with cars. They are simple mechanical devices. They are DESIGNED to be easy to maintain.

I actually used to be shit with cars until I started working in IT. Then I realised mechanics and IT guys do essentially the same thing (1)

Just with different machines. Since then I now at least attempt any maintenance my car needs in the same way I learnt IT. By having a go.

Mostly it's that I've never had the inclination to learn. I don't really like driving and cars just don't interest me.
