Dodger,
I think you are a very eloquent speaker. I just about fell out
of the chair laughing while reading your essay. You might have added a
disclaimer saying it might be a good idea to wear protective head gear just in
case of a law suit.
I want you to know with all that said; in the spirit of a
rodder, just a half wore out old joker like me.... There has been many an
occasion when I have been mechanically challenged, said a bad word or two, told
the jackleg that was giving me the advice to “hit the road”, threw a wrench
across the shop.......and after all that.........got drunk!!!!!!!
Believe it our not that has happened with an easy job or
difficult one like changing a fuse.
Also, some morning’s I am “mechanically challenged” even to
get out of bed. That might be why my wife has hidden my gun. Its very hard
to classify jobs as easy or hard. What was easy for me 25 years ago is now
extremely difficult!
I hope this was taken in the light hearted spirit in which it
was written. I am positive that there is a lawyer somewhere that can make a case
out of anything. My defense would be...”Your Honor.....look at that old nut over
there.....can’t you tell just by looking he is “mechanically challenged”? He
shouldn’t even own tools”
Have fun playin’ with our old junker’s.....I know I do. I have
been in a downer mood lately as nothing has been going right with any of my
“classic car” projects lately. Its all part of the hobby.

PS.. All I do on my new cars is add
gasoline.........
I am not an eloquent speaker or master of the legal consequences of giving
advise, but think that some thought should be given to the possibilities of the
aftermath of telling/explaining how to repair any part of the cars we all
love,,,,, some thought should be given to the fact that not all people are as
mechanically inclined as the next person, nor do they have the tools that some
do..... I personally would hate it if I told someone that any given job on their
car was easy, and they tackled the job, and made a mistake, and ended up
damaging their car let alone theirs or someone else's life,,,,,,,,,,
I'm sorry, but some of the questions that I hear
tell me that the person asking has no idea of what they are doing,(probably why
they are asking in the first place) and should not even attempt changing a
headlight with out supervision, and then the next post I read someone is telling
them that it is an easy job,,,,,,,,,,, YES a lot of the jobs are easy if your
mechanically inclined and have the tools to do it, and it has been proven many
times, that if you are mechanically inclined, the job can be done even without
the right tools,,,,,,,
No I am not saying not to give advise, but please
do not try to arm the mechanically challenged without at least making sure that
they know where the safety on the gun is before telling them where to look for
the gun,,,,,,
Gary, next question is for you,,,,,,,,,,, is there any legal liability in
telling someone how to do a repair, and it ends up all wrong, and there is
property or physical damage caused by it?????? -- -- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
