    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    I am a leccy and it helps sometimes, esp, with the ICE. Could possibly overhaul an engine if really neccessary. Can do most of my DIY's but get lazy at times.
