OK, just how is that dumbing people down? There is a difference between something that requires intelligence and just a skill set. Driving is a skill. Think about it, they taught a chimp to fly a rocket with a couple of lemon drops. That means you can put most humans in a car with a pack of lifesavers and they can figure it out on their own. People who barely pass the US Military ASVAB can enlist to be a truck driver but to be Infantry, Armor, Scout or Artillery they have to score higher overall.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
