I don't know dick about cars


For those of you who have the ability to fix the crunks, clinks, clanks, and thumps your car makes without panicking and forking over 5x's what the problem calls for, I commend you. I have always wished I was a handyman. I can do the basics, I can change my own oil and replace window washer fluid but thats about the extent of my auto body knowledge.

Is it my fault? Partly. I would say it is more the public school systems of MA's fault for not providing an auto body course. I took a "home education" course in high school that taught me how to cook chocolate texas sheet cake and sew buttons back on a shirt, in other words very pointless shit. Perhaps if I didn't have to suffer through civics and chemisty classes that I realized after the first class I didnt give a crap about I could have learned some valuable information.

When I hear the clanks and thumps I turn my radio up, problem solved. Perhaps someday someone will be able to shed some light into my head that's filled with mostly useless information but until that day I will continue to be laughed at in auto body shops for knowing dick about cars.
