"It's not going to be like your Fiero, always working on it, is it?". OUCH!! Unfortunately, they, (wife and daughters), confuse needed fixing work with maintenance work. |

Hopefully they don't think just because something is newer, it won't have any problems either.
I have a sister in law that was getting newer vehicles as she could afford them. Got into a 2008 Chevy Suburban a couple of years ago and low and behold the check engine light came on one day for the evap system. She threw a fit!. Actually said "How new of a G** D***** vehicle do I have to get before the G** D***** check engine light won't come on?!" In the heat of her rant, I calmly said, "The check engine light has never come on in my 78 Camaro..." That didn't help at all!
