18. I was and remain a mechanical idiot, and my VW kept losing power on uphills while I was driving to Lake Tahoe. I didn't have a credit card or much money, but I must have looked pathetic enough for a service station guy to help me. He complimented me on having my own tools, even though I didn't know how to use them. Then he diagnosed the problem (clogged fuel filter), sold me the part for a few bucks and showed me how to fix it myself. What a nice guy.

HOWYW you e-mailed someone over the Internet for the first time? Laugh, youngsters, if you must, but we didn't always have it.
