I started dating my wife through fixing her dead car after a wedding rehearsal for a common friend... Her dad had 'tuned' it up and timed it off the carbon tracks in the dist cap. Old Corolla, actually ran! ...for a while...sorta...

So after outdoing her old man, I shone in her eyes, and it got better from there. It was a low bar to beat mechanically. In other ways he was fine.

Good skills to have!
