Ha, I'm a BMW guy :) Seriously, and I didn't know if this is off-topic, but working on cars, in general, is becoming rare and possibly a hobby that compliments the "Riv lifestyle", whatever that is:). The complexity of today's cars plus the lack of interest by kids makes working on them seem obsolete. Nevertheless, basic things like brake jobs, tune-ups and other minor work can still be done by the DIY. I guess most people take their cars to dealers? At the least they should find a good independent.
Further, I was recently talking with a couple of friends about the value of good tools. We were discussing Snap-on versus Craftsman or other similar tools and the importance of a lifetime guarantee. However, one friend mentioned that kids today don't value tools and rather settle for junk ones from China because its cheaper. I guess they haven't worked on something and have a bolt or nut stripped or the tool break because of the poor quality of the tool. Too bad, as I think a good tool, be it Snap-on, Craftman, Park or even Campy, OK, maybe not that $300 chain tool :(, is essential and worth every cent! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
