You cannot teach those who WILL NOT learn. Sure you can instruct them in all the knowledge you have but when they try to use it, one of their friends will sneer and ask "why are you working on that old clunker" and there goes all of the teachng because peer pressure will take over. What's the old adage "all of my friends have euro-rods". The things is there is only one thing that will combat that and that is sex. When my stepson was 17 he wanted a 2 seater sports car, All I have was 1975 Chrysler Town and Country
wagon. So he used the 'all my friends' arguement. I countered with how many girls can you fit in a two seat sports car. Of course he said 1. I then said how many girls can you fit in a 9 passenger station wagon. He did not miss a beat, he said 'dad can I borrow the wagon tonight'.
