1. That's a really important skill to have.

It beats actually manufacturing the jeep. Plus, it raises the GNP. :eyes:

What could a proficient auto mechanic possibly contribute to society that a snarky internet post does not? Better to send jeeps to the car crusher to be disposed of when they break down than to fix the part that is broken. :eyes:

16. You're right. Just soooo snarky. I guess I missed the part where they claimed to have fixed
anything, or changed any parts. :silly:

15. Yep, being an engineer/mechanic with fast, skilled hands isn't useful at all.
:eyes: You're right, now return to mocking men whose talents and skills vastly out-strip your own.

6. Or in theft grand auto.
I've dipped my oar into just about every craft or trade except auto mechanics. Have to admit, I'm a little jealous. lol

14. Now if they'd just learn to make a good cup of coffee or a decent
tasting meal. They've been working on that for over 200 years and their food still ain't fit for a dog or a dog-face.

Goober Pyle disassembled a car and re-assembled it inside the court house. I don't know how long it took, but he did it all by himself.

22. A bit of Jeep trivia...
The military called them GP's, an acronym for "General Purpose" vehicles. Often instead of saying "GP" they said "Jeep" for short. Thus, the name that has stuck.
