        Why would I waste a third of my income on a car? If push comes to shove, it may be between 5 and 8%.

      I thought I was the only one.

      I studied computers down to the transistor level. I know many of the different cells in the immune cascade. I’ve researched child psychology.

      But ask me to explain what a car’s transmission is and the only thing in my brain is dial-up tones…

      Same. I’ll go as far as changing a wheel when I have a flat, but that’s pretty much it.

      Otherwise, I can lift the bonnet and go “yep, that’s an engine” quite convincingly.
