I think it could be summed up to say that most kids these days are half retarded when it comes to cars. It only gets worse as these forums pop up all over the place with people that have little to know experience and less of a clue how things actually work. It's sad...
The kids now are pretty bad when it comes to cars, some kid on the Escort forums asked, "What is this button in the middle of the dash that doesn't do anything for?'' He was talking about the rear defrost button.
