Oh man, @gracehernandez, you are not kidding. The rusty bolts on my old Cherokee were like a final exam in letting go of anger. I spent a whole afternoon once with a breaker bar and a can of penetrant, just tapping and waiting. It totally re-wired my brain about what "quick job" means. That jeep taught me more about calm problem solving than any self help book.

Sourdough starters take weeks, not minutes.

Doubt that the shift from metal to tech is as huge as made out. @the_uma brought up gauges, and yeah, even old cabs had basic tools to work with. So it wasn't just wild guessing by sound alone. Now with screens, sure, it's different, but is it really that serious? People miss the simplicity, but how often did that lead to close calls or errors? The new stuff might feel like overkill, but if it keeps folks safe and less tired, why complain? Change happens in every job, and clinging to the old ways just seems stubborn.
