| Sep 23, 2012 at 10:50 | comment | added | Dan | @kelton52 That's a silly analogy, and yes, I can work on cars too. See voretaq7's response for a start. We'd also need to know what engine you intend to put in, what equipment you have available and if you're competent enough to handle it. But, more to the point, they'd probably ask "why?", too. Because why replace an engine when it just needs a new alternator?Though, if you'd like proof, why not walk into your local shop and repeat your "How do you replace the engine of a vehicle" question. You can tell them they're clueless. Record the response for future reference. | |

@kelton52 No, to use your analogy it is like walking into a shop and asking the mechanics How do you replace the engine of a vehicle?. You should not be surprised when the mechanics ask you Are you asking about VW Bug, a Porsche 911, an Alfa Romeo Spider, a Ford Model T? -- that kind of context is critical to doing the job correctly. If you insist on standing at the counter and shouting "AN ENGINE! IN A VEHICLE" rather than offering the context they need to do the work properly a smart mechanic will roll their eyes and walk away because you are not asking a real question.
