I didn't mean to doubt your ability to be honest, about trucks or anything.
I just tried to make a joke. Sorry, if I failed....

As a matter of fact, I'm totally ignorant about anything mechanic (or at least, almost ...).

When I was flying ULM (Ultra Light Motorized glider), the only thing I didn't like was the noise of the motor (in fact, I had a change of opinion about that, the day I no longer heard it, while flying .... I made a fast landing that day .... <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )

As for cars, I have found a garage owner (more of a friend now) whom I totally trust (experiences ....) and I buy the cars he sells. For some years now, he is an Opel reseller, so I drive Opels !
I'm now living near Paris, and I drive about 350km (each way) to have my car serviced in his garage. Anyway, he is much cheaper than other garages in Paris. And I visit family in the area as well...
