Totally beyond my comprehension that a man would not know BASICS of checking/changing out a battery, changing a tire, checking inflation of tires, checking basic fluids .... there are things I can not easily do, but I still have general knowledge of what needs to be done.... The new vehicles, I can get are another story...that have all this electronic stuff.... Sorry... who the he// needs the electronic screen to tell you that you have 33 miles to Empty... Look at the da$# gauge....take responsibility of being a common sense OPERATOR of the vehicle you are driving..... We have dumbed down humans to the point of if something doesn't tell them something... they are too stupid to know what else to do....and too stupid to follow instructions either...
No offense to anyone's husband... but how can a salesman not know about the plug in for a diesel truck???? or understand glow plugs on diesel engines for starting... or how to loosen the cables and change out a battery....
Maybe I just did not grow up with people that did not have to take care of their own vehicle....
How many people have I helped that had no clue about how to use a set of jumper cables.... and god forgive they even carried something like that... or an extra gallon of antifreeze and some extra of the different fluids in a "milk crate" in the trunk.....
I guess I am the same about some of this electronic age... alot of it is beyond me ....Like poor @Mini Horses having to post pictures since I do not go online with the phone....but the lack of picture posting isn't going to stop me from driving down the road or changing a flat tire or jump starting the car or something else like that. Welllll.... at least not my "old vehicles"..... no telling the newer ones...

I can change a tire in about 15mins. 30, if I have to get the breaker bar out. Chances are good that if I had a flat on the way to work I wouldn't even be late.
