I like the Dummies books (and VWs)

[arroxaneullman -at- aol -dot- com]

I have multiple Dummy's and Idiot's guides.

Once upon a time I owned the "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A 
Manual of Step-By-Step Procedures for the Complete Idiot" and loved it.

I'm mechanically disiclined and didn't have the money (starving 
student) to pay someone else to fix my old VW bus. Some considered me a 
'girly girl,' but I was also independent enough to borrow friends' 
tools and get dirty and greasey fixing things (if I had to). Usually, 
fixing The Bus would turn out to be a group effort and quite a social 
occasion. I think everyone I knew was on an old VW kick. They were easy 
and fun to fix--at least, with the book.

These days I live a much cushier life and let someone else fix my 
(2005) Volkswagen. But I still like Idiot's and Dummy's books and 
consider them an example of tech comm progress.

Go ahead, raise your hand if you, too, owned an old VW. Raise two if 
you had the same book!
