"What kind of fool am I" (page 3)

Dorktacular

My dad was a mechanic. Years ago, he had a few deaf customers. They always had trouble blowing out engines prematurely. It took him a while to figure out why... They can't hear the engine run! They can only feel the vibrations. So, they would hit the gas right away to see if the engine was running. It's really bad for an engine to be revved before the oil gets to circulate through the engine, so they would wear out prematurely. I've seen quite a few older people do the same thing because they can't hear the engines, especially in today's smooth running luxury cars. He solved the problem by installing tachometers in the vehicles of the offending persons so they can see the RPM needle move, indicating the engine was running.

Grace,

Don't feel bad, we all have our moments.

My mother is 84, and still driving her little PT Cruiser all over. I taught her how to drive when she was 60. She's no Mario Andretti, but she does okay. I am sure you do too. Your mind is sharp as a tack, as I can see from your posts.

Keep on rollin',

JK
