Thanks ladies 
The oil change and spark plugs I learned to do in my 20's, but the Autocross stuff and tire/wheel, suspension, and towing a vehicle I didn't start until I turned 40 - and it isn't rocket science but most of us didn't grow up learning to do this stuff from our dads (I know I didn't! Dad's big thing on teaching me automotive maintenance was to show me how to check the oil and take a mason jar and fill up at the gas station with "recycled oil" for a nickel a jarful and add when necessary 
). I have every confidence that after Fall Colors, you guys will be reporting to me on how long it takes you to change a tire, what camber and toe will give the most firmly planted feel for autocross yet not cause undue tire wear, and at what gap the S2000 spark plugs should be set.

Hmmmm...adjust your tire pressure, huh? Be careful - you might end up with a flat!
