My real son is not interested in mechanical things.

He is a wonderful guy with many excellent qualities and we get along fabulously but fiddling with cars is not something he is or ever has been interested in.

It just occurred to me as I posted on a thread in the Diesel section that giving tips to less experienced DIYers here is kindof like I might do with my son if he were interested.
