I remember the days when I could sit in the engine compartment, usually on the inside fender, and work on my first car, a 1957 Ford with two doors, six cylinders, and three on the column. A 100-dollar Craftsman tool set, and you were good to go.

I drove that car for two years and gave it to my high school buddy, who drove me to the designated pick-up spot to be picked up to head off to the USAF Basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas.

Now, my 2003 Ford Ranger needs to be taken to the garage with thousands of dollars' worth of tools to keep it running.
