How's it going now? I felt like a mechanical god when I changed my starter, probably wouldn't try head gaskets.

Dude, starters aren't shit compared to head gasket replacement. Working on cars is rewarding as hell though, especially when you realize how much money is being saved from paying labor.

I guess I should stay and pay attention since our other car has a leak in the headgasket, despite not being the same make/model.

Yeah, with the price of used cars right now, I find repair can be cheaper than getting something newer. It hasn't always been that way, though. Plus, you don't always know what the newer car has been through or if the previous owner did the routine maintenance.
