Some master machanics can listen to the sound of an engine, and tell you whats wrong with it.
Those are masters, in our Hi-Tech world, a few still exist, I know of one who after scratching his head, takes a puff of his cigar, says this is your problem.
He says cars are built too fast, with to many frills on'em. Now if you need to replace one part, you gotta buy the whole assembly
