AN EASIER, SOFTER WAY FOR THE NEWCOMER
Step 1: I had an old clunker parked in the driveway. I had
just about given up on it, but decided to make a whole
hearted attempt to restore it
Step 2: I couldn't fix it, but I came to believe someone
could.
Step 3: I turned the car over to a mechanic.
Step 4: I took an inventory of all that was wrong with the
old clunker.
Step 5: I shared the inventory with the mechanic.
Step 6: I helped take off the old parts.
Step 7: I let the mechanic handle the rest.
Step 8: We made a list of all the parts that were needed,
and got together and went over them.
Step 9: I admitted I hadn't checked the oil and fluids
properly, or fixed the other things that were going
wrong. It was my responsibility to take care of the car,
and I had not. I wanted to help, but being unfamiliar
with the process, I allowed the mechanic to fix things
The car turned out beautifully!
Step 10: I checked the oil, fluids, tires etc. more
regularly, and when I didn't the engine didn't hummmmm.
Step 11: I called on the mechanic whenever there was
trouble, asking him to fix the car.
Step 12: That mechanic and I had become such close friends
we decided to take a trip across the country, and stopped
to help all that needed it along the way
