understood where dad and grandpa were coming from today
My dad and grandpa always worked on their own cars. I remember them bitching about how big of a pain is was to work on "new" cars. That was in the 70's and 80's. :lol: The wifes new Dodge Journey needed washer fluid today so as I was putting that in I was really looking it over and just shaking my head. The oil filter is on the top of the motor and it isn't a traditional type filter. It's open element and fits into it's own little compartment. Then I'm looking at what it's going to take to do a plug change......I never did lay eyes on the plugs. :lol: What a bitch that's going to be at some point. I just looked around in there a couple minutes but it looks like some shit is gonna have to come off the motor to do a plug change. I was just looking at it thinking how different the engines are now versus what they were when I was in high school and working on my 75 cutlass. I remember sitting under the hood of that car in a rain storm changing a fuel pump that was mounted directly to the side of the block. Wonder what they'll look like when Zach is 40 years old?
