Presumably, you drive a vehicle without indicators, since indicators do nothing for performance (one can change lanes just as quickly without indicators).
As for car repairs, you do ALL your own maintenance and repairs. Wow!
Along with knowing the the stall speed for a fully loaded jumbo (handy to know when you're a few hundred feet off the deck).
And knowing how to wire a step-down transformer, by hand, no less!
Quite often at slashdot there is mention of "dumb-ass users" and the like.
Presumably, these "users" include those who drive motor-vehicles but who don't know the firing order of the vehicle's cylinders, or the degree of ignition advance at a specific number of revs.
Likewise with those who enjoy air travel but don't know the degree of flaps required for landing the jet they're in, or the stall speed, say, at 1000 feet, for a fully laden 747 (Whoops, almost forgot, I'd need to know the relevant barometric pressure, to correctly know that one).
Or those who watch television, but don't know the refresh rate, or the specifics of frequency modulation.
Awwh, heck, what about those who even just use mains electricity in their homes (e.g for computers), without knowing the the local step-down transformer specifics.

Glad to know you're not a dumb ass user.

Golly, there's probably a lot of dumb ass users.
But not, of course, as we all know, at Slashdot.
