In the past two weeks, I’ve found myself mired in no less than three conversations about truck parts. I don’t know anything about truck parts. All I do is shake my head and mutter about carbeurators. I’ve been complaining about it (to those who wouldn’t be offended), but today I accepted it. I realized that it’s a fact of rural life as much as riding the T is a fact of life in Boston. So I went about redneck-ifying myself (sorry Gwen) in a rather net-gen way: reading up on Ford truck engines on the wikipedia (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org). I now know the difference between a Windsor V-8 and a Cleveland V-8 with a 2-barrel or 4-barrel carb. It’s not much, but it’s a start. It just goes to show that anything can be learned (and most things faked). It also shows that no matter what your interest, the internet CAN BE a shortcut to expert status.
\nCheers,
\nAndrew (or Buck if you prefer)<\/p>\n
