In fact, I would bet that if you went to your local high school 99% of the senior boys there could not change the spark plugs or change the oil in the car they drive.

You're right on there!! When I went to high school in Washington State, there was a class called "Farm Shop". It was (mabe still is) a requirement for the schools to have the class due to WA being an agricultural state. We all just brought our hot rods or whatever cars we had to the class and worked on them. Learned sheet metal, welding and all the basic things you needed to know to maintain your car. Sadly, I believe those days are gone and kids these days just order whatever "pre-programmed" or "pre-engineered" parts for their car online and have someone bolt them on for them. They don't seem to have a clue about what makes the enfing run or any appreciation for the "soul" of a well built motor.....
