Mechanics

Changing The Transmission Oil on a Subaru
In other news, my 20-something neighbor stopped by to ask about a problem with his car.  He'd just changed the oil in his pretty new Subaru, and now it was screeching and bucking.  Long story short he had drained the tranny fluid, and drowned the engine with an additional 4 quarts of oil. 
The tranny fluid was not red, but dark; in appearance it could pass for oil. - California Bob
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who are good with things and those who aren't. You can get by perfectly well with being mechanically incompetent, but you have to be willing to deal with people and pay them for dealing with your mechanical problems. Honda, Apple and Sony's promise of extreme reliability is what has made them so successful. Which is why they can charge a premium for their products and why I won't have anything to do with them.
