Oh, my. I used to loooove tuning up a regular ol American automobile. Points, condenser, timing light, gapper, adjust the distributor, etc.
I remember a very elderly woman at an AMPM gas station. She had a brand new Cadillac Eldorado. Even still had the new car smell. She was trying to put gasoline in her gas tank that was already completely full. Gasoline was spilling onto the concrete. I gently asked if I could be of some assistance, and she said YES. Turns out her fancy car computer was telling her to put gasoline in the car. I suggested that the car was so new, just take it back to where she purchased it.
There are some great things about modern cars, but I miss being able to tune them up using your eyes and your ears.
Your car is your horse.
My son just bought a Camaro last night.
New prisoner the low IQ are the first to go
