I put them in the same league as guys who drive donks. I understand not wanting to mess up stuff like transmissions/rear ends/engines, especially if you have a deadline, but not even wanting to try it is pitiful to me. How can you actually appreciate your car if you don't even know how it works? Take something apart... see how it works. It's fun.An example: My brother-in-law. We get along really great, and we both love cars.. but in completely different ways. He knows all the stats on cars, loves F1, but couldn't tell you what an alternator looks like. He's always talking about how cars feel when driven etc, which I do too.. but he has no concept of what actually makes cars drive the way they do. This generally doesn't bother me, but sometimes it's kind of annoying when he goes on and on about why different cars are better than others with out really knowing why.</blockquote>
