    Working on your car used to be common everywhere, it wasn't just a US thing.

    And I fail to see how being able to maintain and repair things yourself is somehow bad?

      No, they're right. The stereotype of American's knowing how to work on their car is largely due to how unreliable and prone to break down cars were up until like the mid 80s.

      Because cars shouldn't break all the time. But American cars sure did. They were shit.
