^+1 - I used to like working on cars. ...Worked on '71 Grand Prix and a '75 CJ all the time. You could open the hood and see the driveway!
Then one time, circa 1990, I dropped a screwdriver under a hood. Kept the car for several more years and sold the screwdriver with the car. Never came out. Oddly, the buyer didn't seem to want to pay the adder for the tool? Today things in cars are jammed so tight you skin a knuckle picking your nose, so I pretty much let someone else feel the joy nowadays.
And Tom, in Texas there's a special coat for people that work outside in that weather. Its white, laces in back, and has funny sleeves. ;)
