Re: Des-killing carmaker was good for guys like me. I have no mechanical skills. As one who has mechanical skills, I can't relate..... One night in 1973 I was driving home in the dark in the rain in soggy Oregon and my pick up up and died. It was 2 in the morning, and I was alone. Unlike the fellow who recently hacked off his arm after a romp in the tulies that trapped him behind a rock, I was caught in a hard place that I could master. I sorted out that my plight was caused by a failed plastic component within the distributor and I improvised a cedar shingle kludge that brought spark back to my cylinders. Wasn't dramatic, in the telling, but it certainly was a more successful improvisastion than whacking off an arm, the media's latest sensation, or giving up on craftsmanship as so many modern men have as they've lost the knack of improvisation and have assumed a life of quiet desperation, waiting for the next alienating and dehumanizing advance in what we so ironically label as progress...........
