You don't live in Michigan and you should be happy about that. The overall reliance on auto related jobs here has us with an eggs-in-one- basket economy. Forclosures are everywhere. The region has the highest unemployment figures in the country. At the same time people don't save like they used to and everyone is up to their eyes in debt.
Some of the truth is that like you, I pay cash wherever possible and I buy used cars and let someone else take the depreciation hit. I have several credit cards but have zero balances on all of them. If I don't have the money, I don't buy it. I am lucky to have a job that has zero automotive work and our plant has been working overtime until recently.
I lost my job 4 years ago and it was bad then. It's way worse here now but thank God I still have my job. We learned to shop at Wal Mart, turn lights off, use CFL's, cut back on the phones, stay home, consolidate trips where possible. All the simple stuff that pays off.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. 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
