Yup. "Back in the day" when you bought a car that you could afford making 3 bucks an hour in an after school job, by necessity you learned how to fix things. Most times the car you bought came already broken, so you learned something just getting on the road. I always carried a full tool box until just recently. Now I carry a cell phone and my AAA card.
My cousin and I tore down and rebuilt cars for extra cash, so I got to know how things work as a teenager. Now, I see people who don't have a clue owning brand new motor homes and the only thing they can tell you is how many TVs they have.
There's a couple of generations out there that have never worked on a car. The reliability of cars now are such that you run them until the check engine light comes on and then take it to the dealer to have it fixed. I do the same. Gone are the days you could take $100 to Sears and walk out with every tool you need to maintain a car.
Anyone need an old dwell/tach?
