You mean kind of like a certain airplane?!
Then again, as one who in the 70's and 80's regularly worked on my own passenger cars, tore apart and rebuilt carburators, master cylinders, and hydraulic clutches, and replaced an engine and tranny in a '95 F150,.... these days I look under the hood of my car and mysteries abound. Someone could probably replace a third of those components with high-speed rabbit doots and I wouldn't know, either. :-)
