Another Off Topic Duscussion (Sorry Mods about placement). I just needed to share something that happened recently. My 2013 Prius was knocking and had no power. My boy (24) decided he could fix it. I took it over and 2 days later he came back, telling me he'd taken the engine apart. I kind of freaked (I said WHAT??!!!). Now, he'd taken HIS car engine apart to replace stuff with help from a friend. It was successful so he thought he could do the same with mine. The issue was a bad head gasket and dirty Cylinders as well as a few other things i can't remember. He worked on it, replaced $1297 of parts and put it back together. Feels like a new engine. It's perfect. And I was pleasantly surprised. He asked for 2.5K for the work. I'm giving him 3.5K. With everything he did, it would have been 9.5K at the dealership (he checked).

So yeah......What are some things your kids have done?
