what I don't know about cars could fill a gastank
Monday, August 15, 2005
I stood around various vehicles for three hours tonight being a passive participant of conversations about engines, transmissions, brake lines, etc etc.
There was a great deal of head nodding and uh-huh-ing on my part. Little else.
Nothing like knowing absolutely nothing about a conversation's subject matter to make you feel like a complete dumbass.
I could blame my old man for not teaching me anything about cars, but I can only take that so far. Probably a safe bet that his Dad didn't teach him either.
And there was so much that he didn't teach me that I wouldn't want to waste blame on something I don't really care to know more about.
But I think I'll take every component out of my Dell when I get home and rebuild the fucker from scratch.
Remind myself that I know something about anything.
