OK - that made me laugh...

I am afraid this problem is only going to get worse though.
Cars really are getting more complex, but the real reason is these  
super complex machines will need a dealer to fix them.
Back in the '80s they made it a crime to adjust your carburetor.  
Before long it will be illegal or impossible to open the hood without  
the "dealers service key".
