Living in Michigan, we used to get super cold winters. My new car had one of those turn signals/combination of other things. I got in one cold winter morning, bumped that thing with my knee, and broke it off right at the entrance where the arm went into the expensive portion. My mechanic told me how to fix it, you just had to pull the old one out and push the new one in. If it had broken off further along, where the actual guts part of the thing was, I have no doubt it would have been a very expensive fix. As it was, I just had to order the arm, and install it in about 3 seconds by myself. While cars from this century are so damn expensive, I have to admit that I have never had to worry about it falling apart at 100,000 miles the way that a 1980 or so model was. We always said that when they hit that mileage they would nickel and dime you to death. Now we expect a car to go over 200,000 miles with no problem. But if something does break on our cars, most of us don't even consider trying to fix it ourselves. Hell, I don't even do brake jobs myself anymore.
A walrus noticed something dripping under his car so he took it to a mechanic. The mechanic said it would be at least an hour and suggested the walrus grab some lunch. The walrus went to Dairy Queen and when he returned the mechanic said " it looks like you blew a seal." The walrus replied, "no, it's just a little ice cream."
#9 Mercedes come that way from the factory.
