Long periods of depression and brief periods of high productivity.
Back in the early 2000’s I had a recruiter call my house asking for me, creepy AF.
Car enthusiasts are much more welcoming and helpful than computer experts. Just look at stack exchange.
You can usually find step by step instructions for fixing most cars. My library has a subscription to Chilton online, so I can use it from home and look at repair procedures and wiring diagrams. Just use forums and YouTube to fill in the gaps. I’ve even diagnosed a car from Amazon reviews since I suspected a certain part was bad and looked at reviews that said the exact symptoms.
The walls are closing in…
