    About this ebook

    Like all technology in the late-twentieth, early twenty-first century, automobiles are not exempt from the fast-paced evolution; the telegram system has been replaced with the cellphone. The evening news on the television has been replaced with instantly-updated news on the internet. The horse and carriage have been replaced with the self-driving automobile. This is one person's forty-year experience in that transition. The fellow mechanics will get a good laugh knowing you are not alone. The everyday automobile driver should read this to possibly get a better insight to what goes on in today's vehicle and the poor individual trying to repair it.

      Hi folks. Motorcycling. I now I don’t have to convince you of its appeals. You lot are fully locked in. It seems though, that participation, after a hugely successful run post-millennium in regard to uptake and sales, has at least plateaued. Now, I’m
