Somewhere around 1995 car manufacturers started replacing all the mechanical bits in cars with science fiction.  So if your timing went out you no longer knew if it was just because your timing belt/chain was worn as the problem could just as easily be caused by having a faulty cigarette lighter.  In the end I gave up on trying to fix my cars altogether and consequently no longer discount faith healing and psychiatric counselling as viable options for mechanical repair.

As an aside, it’s been my observation that a certain amount of men over 45 are deliberately dressed by their wives to match the furniture. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been to friend’s places and discovered after half an hour that their Dad has been in the same room as me all along.
