You would be surprised at what some people do without thinking or without even paying attention to their own cars, though. A guy at work today was talking about getting a battery replaced. He didn't do it, but Advance Auto wouldn't do it because it required disconnecting the cables, so he paid someone else to put a new battery in. Wow. He did manage to put in a new tail light bulb, with advice from the Advance Auto people. Got to give him credit for that. I don't know what he drives now, but at one time had a pretty nice late model Camero. Not dissing him at all, but I can't believe some things people pay money for. He is an able bodied, pretty intelligent guy. It's like a nephew of mine once said. Why do it yourself, when you can pay someone to do it for you? I was dumbfounded. I didn't have a reply for him. (he should have known better) When I was 16, I replaced the Dist cap, rotor, plugs (yes I gapped them) wires and took it to a mechanic to adjust the carb. on my Charger. Went to pick it up, and he charged me for all of the above. I told him I wanted all my old stuff back because it was brand new, hmm, seems the trash people had just left. Lying bastage! lol. I vowed right then and there to never let another person touch my stuff. High dollar lesson learned. At least he didn't wreck my car.
