Got a call from a friend recently to change a flat for his wife and her friend right close to my house. Beautiful women, shame they were both married. Bad thing is the first thing I did when I showed up was ask them for the owners manual so I could read the directions. Think how embarrasing that was for me to do since I'm a mechanic by trade, especially when I heard my buddies wife on the phone with him asking just who was this guy he sent to help them that had to ask for the directions. In my defense, changing the tire, no problem... figuring out on one of these newer SUV's where the tools were, then where the trick was to lower the winch holding up the spare, etc, that was another story. Thank goodness for the instructions. Prime example of the difference between a real mechanic and a want to be. A real mechanic has no problem saying I don't know and checking the manual. The want-to-be jumps in and screws everything up ... and then calls a real mechanic to fix his mess. LOL.
