    Also keep in mind things are less tinkerable now, especially cars and there are a ton of added anti self repair things added that weren’t there before

      My buddy bought a new BMW after decades of working on older models. The whole bottom is covered in plastic. You can’t jack it up on the side of the road without a part you have to buy from BMW. Then the brake caliper bolts were metric half size. He sold it the same month he bought it.
