Re: [TCLUG:13011] This is just too funny

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

see, from my point of view, I don't see what they are complaining about, I
do most of my own mechanical work on my vehicles, most parts in the engine
are plug and play (hehe)  the only trouble with vehicles is the diagnosis
of a problem.  personaly i don't find cars that utterly complex.

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
