Rose: Why do guys whisper when they're examining a car engine?
Abby: It's like they're hiding a big secret!
Jimbo: ...And what does that thing do, Corky?
Corky: Who knows, Jimbo...the salesman was talking so fast.
Ah, the only thing technical I really know, is about computers. I prefer to work on them then cars. Cars = grease = dirty hands/face. Computer = no grease = clean hands/face (unless the person is a smoker or it’s dusty).
I can understand mechanical things; I replaced the gears and chain on one of my bicycles last week; and I have replaced the bearings in everything except the head joint. I also understood and adjusted the carburettor in my ‘79 Austin Mini. Could probably have done much more for it if I’d had the tools and inclination.But modern cars? Mystical complexities that defy logic and comprehension. I’ll take the bicycles any day. Besides, I need to get rid of the excess fuel I’ve been taking in all winter…

My automotive expertiese goes only to the extent that I know there is an engine up front, unless it’s an old VW Beetle.
