This is a little depressing as I had worked at a discount tire store while going to tech school... the store I worked at was very straightforward, the more annoying things were not being allowed to replace an axle front or rear separate on awd cars and that we weren’t allowed to touch any car with wheel spacers...…

Working as a technician, anytime I hear anyone, customer or fellow tech use the words, “but i read on suchandsuch forum...” my brain almost immediately stops listening. There is a lot of useful information on the internet... just don’t take everything that you read as a fact

Agreed, I was a mechanic before joining the navy, my roommates dad had his car towed to a shop while he was at boot camp because it wouldn’t start. It had been overheated a month or so before and needed a bunch of regular maintenance. the mechanic that worked on it ended up replacing the timing belt.... and nothing…

where and who is this distributor... and are they street legal in the USA... not that it matters that much

Practicality used to have to be sacrificed for the trade off of speed, and understanding you…

While I personally agree with you i feel like 25 years ago the exact same argument was had except it was, "Then stop using fuel injection." Some things show up and they're here to stay... this makes me feel old

They pay taxes for BBC so they don't get BS depression/erectile dysfunction/anti-herpes medication commercials on TV amongst other stupid things
