Makes me mad these kids nowdays have all this information at their fingertips and have no clue how to use it, sure wish I had it available when I got my truck. When I put the V-6 in it all I had was Truckin magazine (minitruckin didnt exist yet) for reference, a land line to make long distance charged calls to companies and my ingenuity to make things work, and it only took me a couple of weekends to get it in and roadworthy.
Ah ah, don't forget, the map is not the
territory. True, we kids have lots of references, but you'd probably agree that the trial and error of experience is the only way to get any good. And we have all these precedents to look at, but somehow it doesn't seem like there's as much....
time(or spare money) to do big mods like those. I really wonder why it seems that way...
Believe me, that video had me daydreaming about getting an actuated bed, drooling over how easily unloading kayaks would get. And besides, you get extra credit because you
had to do it yourself to know if it would work, which is why you're good at it now, right?
Maybe another way to say it is to ask how many projects you started that just got too big to ever be finished? I feel like I've been able to avoid some
whoppers by getting on the internet first and seeing if my harebrained plan is the best use of my (unfortunately limited) resources.
I guess I'd agree with you that we're paralyzed with options. But someday, when I've got the means to goof around a little more, I'm gonna make my bed do all kinds of that june-bug wing opening stuff too.
