My father said you want a car you need to be able to work on it too, nothing minor ever went to a mechanic, but then I was always mechanicly inclined, He wouldn't let my mother get her license till she could change a flat tire after they got married. How many guys don't know how to change a spare. Around here thats a lot. I see new SUV's abandoned with a flat tire all the time, new ones with nice spares peaking out from underneither.

A real shame...........................................
