The art of being able to work on and modify our own cars is totally dying out. I know there are kids that put wide tires and coil-over shocks and fart can mufflers on their cars but how many of them know how to pull and engine, much less rebuild one? Some may but I would say the % that have the knowledge compared the % that had that knowledge 30 years ago is down considerably. But on the other hand, when you can spend $15000 on a used twin turbo BMW that will out run and out handle most cars out there, what is the incentive to learn how to modify it?
