Mechanical aptitude!

My first foray into "hot rodding" was around 1974 when I would be 5 y/o and it involved putting several hand fulls of dirt down the gas filler of the family Volvo thinking it would make it run faster.Needless to say,it never ran again.
I still remember my dad phoning the gas station and yelling at them that they sold him dirty gas...:oops:
