Everybody knows that we worked on cars for many years without ratcheting wrenches. However nobody is willing to admit that they're the first wrench they reach for now.

I'm a mechanic and I rarely use them. The only reason I have them is because they were free.

I don't even own a set at home.

Wagons have mad cred but they are noisy to drive and if you like good audio staging, they suck ass.

I dunno if this has been said here yet, but "punishable by fine" just means "legal for rich people"

The good old days of carburetors, points ignition with distributor cap and rotor, dial telephones, yellow pages, bias ply tires, drum brakes, and 4 tv channels with programming brought in by radio waves were not as good as you remember.

None of us really have any idea what we're doing. We're just faking it and hoping that nobody calls our bluff.

If you traveled back 10 years ago, and explained to people that Trump is president and Kim Kardashian and Dennis Rodman are ambassadors.........no  one would believe you.

People tend to think things are new when they actually have been going on for a long time... same poop, different day:

 

Time travel back to the 60's and tell them Ronald Reagan will be president!
