Automotive innocence

Most us here are mechanically inclined and somewhat know how things work. But as a disclaimer, there are many in the hobby that aren't mechanics but can afford to buy a hot rod. I see it every day by the questions asked. Sometimes it scares me reading threads written by folks that probably shouldn't turn a wrench. Nothing wrong with learning but I think it's scary to see people jump right into a cam replacement, Torqueflite overhaul, or 6 pack tuning without even knowing the basics.
Rainy, I listen, feel, and think too much when I drive any car. Automotive innocence or automotive ignorance?
