You looked under the hood of a car in this day and age? Capitalism overengineered the Guys into an endangered species

There’s more ‘a guy’ than just cars though. I don’t have ‘tree guy’ or a ‘tickets guy’ or a ‘get on the roof and replace a shingle guy’ either.

Yep. We’ve got a yard guy and a light construction guy but we’ve got to find some of the others. OTOH, my spouse is the Respectable/Taken Seriously White Guy for some minority-owned businesses in our community, which is its own special form of Guy Economy.

There’s thousands of different ‘guys’ to know. Most of them are the kind that can help with a few different things instead of being all encompassing on one topic. My ‘brakes guy’ isn’t my ‘transmission guy’. But he is my ‘trim painting guy’

Yeah, I need to pull the wheel well lining aside & reach in blind just to change my headlight bulb! I hear some of the newest cars don't even have a dipstick to check the oil level now. SMH.

My Dodge Revenger required the driver front wheel be removed to replace the battery.
