Automotive innocence

I think most people don’t even crack open the owners manual on a new car. Most maintenance they do is put gas in their car. Most modern manuals are several inches thick so I would imagine with most people these days don’t have the time to absorb the info in the manual.

When my wife bought her Subaru the offered free hands on classes for those interested. Classes were held weekly around dinner time in which the dealer had sub sandwiches, pop and coffee. I attended the first class where the first thing the covered was the maintenance schedule. Pretty impressive for a dealer to do that. Of course it’s hard to make something that’s totally idiot proof.
