I was cleaning out my old toolbox and found a receipt for a set of points and condenser from 1998 that cost $12.50.

I looked it up online and a basic OBD2 scanner now costs more than my first week's pay at the shop back in '96, which really makes you think about how the tools have changed more than the work sometimes, you know?

My old timing light cost less than a pizza back then.

Remember when you could fix a car with a light and a prayer? Now I need a degree just to find the hood latch.
