Hey Barack, what is a “tune up”? Oh, you mean that thing I used to do back in the early 1980s when I owned my last car that had points, condenser, and distributor? Is that the “tune up” you’re talking about?

Yeah, you might want to learn about a little thing called a “solid state ignition system”.

...and computer controlled fuel injection systems, air-mass meters and such.

I'd like to know when the last time (if ever) B.O. ever did a tune up.

Or aired up a tire.

Yeah, and be sure to “repack” those tires...every 10,000miles

Definitely ~ he might also want to catch up on how you "maintain" fuel injection systems ~ which we adopted to ELIMINATE the ability of carowners to easily adjust their carburation systems to lean or rich (for economy or power).

This guy voted for new CAFE standards and yet he has no idea how those standards are met.

That’s a fact. There is in effect a robot in there watching the engine functions and adjusting everything all the time. About all that can happen is the seals break down eventually.

Bought a new Chevy for the wife two years ago. It currently has 22,000 miles on its EcoTech engine.

At that rate it might be due for a tune-up in 2014 - 2015, at 100,000 miles.

Of course Obama will just be getting into stride during his 10 year Presidency.
