Right on there...they are built old-style so they can be worked on,
unlike the new vehicles that are made to have whole 'sub-assemblies'
diagnosed and replaced........But soon, there will be no mechanics around
anymore, only "automotive technicians"....

Just like there are few real carpenters around any longer, only 'house
assemblers' divided into a jillion sub-contractor trades and paid near
minimum wage by general contractors who've never seen a hammer..
    You can change the sparkplugs on a Vanagon, even.
