I used to be a cable type. Owned muscle cars and sports cars for many years. Spent most weekends "fixing" something or installing that "must have" mod.I carried a hodge podge of tools and spare parts with me everywhere. I got used to replacing parts in parking lots, beside the road etc.. etc...
Then one day it suddenly wasnt fun anymore. I traded my 240 for a b210, my tools for golf clubs and flying lessons, and havent done much wrench turning in 20 years.
I tip my hat to all you guys that can work on todays computer driven models. But Ill always remember the days of setting points with a match book cover bent over in the pouring rain beside the road ....
