Author Ethan Shelton has been an avid car enthusiast for his entire life, of when this website was created, was 12 3/4 years. This is my first time in over a year that I have intercepted the chance to revisit and tweak it a bit. I have had some amazing eco-friendly, money saving ideas, which can improve our current economic troubles. Cars today are cheated. Drugged with an overdose of unfixable electronics, the cheap plastics that are even thrown on the most luxurious, exotic, expensive cars. The cheap plastic body kits, well, just don't last.
As for the engines in these plastic toys, well, I am wrong to call them "engines." Before 1978, there were such things as real motors. Now, there are chips, wires, computers, batteries, and all the unwanted crap in cars. For example, your check engine light on your dash board comes up. You go and visit your local car dealership, and they attempt to service your vehicle. But the problem is, they can't. You go to other mechanics, they can't. But when you get a computer genius and get a mechanic to teach them the layout of the engine, then they'll rip apart the engine, and find the problem, but couldn't put the engine back together.
Now you've got a problem (unless the mechanic is still there.)
