Well, not that funny. I used to be able to do some fair amount of maintenance and repair on cars in the old days, but I will tell you when I opened the hood for my Honda CRV for the first time, I did not recognize anything that I was looking at. The really interesting part came when I wanted to check the oil level and literally could not find the dipstick. It took me three or four minutes to locate it, first because I am an idiot and second because it was sandwiched in the weirdest place. You and I both know that in the old days when you lifted the hood, the dipstick was “right there“.
