well it kinda lost steam because religion and politics are the only topics people want to fuss about..
ok what about this. you have only general knowledge about a certain engine. all of the dealerships in your area have gone out of business. no one will touch your car because they're not familiar with it. you take your car to a person who is supposed to be a specialist and he charges $1,300..you agree because after all he is a specialist and you shouldn't try to fix it yourself because if you aren't familiar with it. you may get hung up on something. after the third day you start questioning whether he is really as good as he says he is. you then find out he probably knows as much as you do. he ends up taking a week and two days and talks about charging you extra to repair things that are clearly his mistakes..
after everything is said and done you find out he wasnt the only person besides yourself who could have done the job, in fact there was a shop across town who would have done it for $800.00 and their shop has ase certified mechanics. they would have guaranteed a 2 day turn around.
