When I was taking a lot of auto classes in college, there were a lot of guys who worked in local shops there. I found that most of the time the person working on your car is a complete idiot. These guys were having a hard timing hooking up an engine analyzer or a boring bar, yet alone understand how it worked or how to use it. Whenever possible, do your own work.

At a recent deposition of a major manufacturer's technical "expert" witness where the issue was premature worn out king pins, the question was put to the "expert," "what's a king pin?" To which after a long pause was heard, "somebody in the mafia?" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
