Thread Name: BS: Obsolete in your lifetime?
Subject: RE: BS: Obsolete in your lifetime?
Other than for working on small engine stuff and the odd household or yard thingy, over $3000 worth of tools. Oh, I might be able to do some minor stuff on my truck, but ANYTHING major can only be fixed with a credit card. And the bastards charge $68 just to hook it up to their computer.
I remarked to a guy today that, when I wanted to change the plugs and wires on my first truck on a rainy day I could sit on a lawn chair, shut the hood and do it. With my present truck, I couldn't even slide a credit card in there. And I've heard that a basic 100,000km tuneup costs over $2000!
