What's your concern? Those of us that are technically-challenged should be rounded up and put in detention camps?

My hope is that those who are technically-challenged recognize their limitations and get others (who know what they're doing) to do the work on their cars.

But detention camps are not a bad idea.

I recognized a LONG time ago that I was technically-challenged and that might my pen (checkbook) would be mightier than my sword (socket wrench). I think one of, long ago, but still vivid, memories were of me changing my oil and filter on my '66 Corvette and having to stab my filter with a screwdriver because I couldn't wrench it off.

So, I think most people will realize their shortcomings quickly, but I think you must be speaking not of the technically-challenged, but of the STUPID. That's a entirely different and FAR LARGER category.

If were talking about detention camps for segments of the population, I can think of a few other categories of people to be put in detention camps, the STUPID, being one of them.

Don't knock the stupid! They buy things. Like over priced car kits, for one! All you need to do is see how many bids there are on eBay for .... (You name it)
